work in progress - The Unwanted Child

A Poem by SilverFish
"

not sure about this one... just some thoughts

"
The unwanted child
the innocent black sheep

(Slowly poisoned by the clock
infected moments, cursed)

Hurt herself a little
and was a little ill

Mother was a statue
Father was a fire
Unwanted little girl
a bird afraid to fly

Became a slave to water
the rivers and the seas
Became an heir to dreams,
wishes and false promises

Demons of black smoke
and ghosts follow her
She saw them, she sensed
Alone she dwelled, away

Scratched the wall
Burned her skin

(To become pure
To be beautiful)

Regret, shame, sickness
Confused paths and solitude
She howled with wolves
and spoke with dogs

The unwanted child
Her wings slowly decaying
as she shed her pointless tears
and cry for love that wastes her
