Living Sacrifice

Living Sacrifice

Often they take parts and pieces of me
For I must gradually die living for them to keep living
My sweat,my blood, my time,thought s the eyes can't see
They don't care they just keep receiving

I ask myself:how did it all start?
Sometime ago when a child's
welcoming hug
was rewarded with a painful knock
And a dirty resounding slap!
For curiously dismantling the wall clock,spillling water on the rug

How dare it demand the affection and attention
Which was not earned through intentions and actions
It had to act prim and proper
To be worthy enough to be the father's daughter

So I learnt from my founding sources
That I was worthless without useful resources
It wasn't enough to just be a human being
I had to give more,to be loved,valued and seen

Folks ride me like Aladdin's magic carpet
I should protest but I lack strength
I stay quiet
Religion tells me to strive to be gentle,kind and meek
To not fight,retaliate but turn the other cheek

I stay still watching as they exploit my sincerity, rape my innocence Abuse my kindness,mock and merry at my absence.
Exploiting the limiting mental edifice Useful to others and life as nothing more than a living sacrifice!
