Poem: She Sat Essay, Research Paper

She sat…

helpless in her room

praying to whatever god

there may be

to let her call to him.

could god ignore such a painful cry?

darkness fills her windows…

sneaking nearer to her bed.

she calls out in the blackness,

and then, once again.

as other nights that have past…

the blackness overwhelms her.

with a single tear

in each eye (that is all she has left).

she sleeps.

she awakens to the harshness of

god’s sunlight

to find herself alone.
