Still Searching

She was hated from birth

But came from the earth

Flesh and blood, but to them

She wasn’t human

She was an animal, a devious act

A rabid dog waiting to attack

They were disgusted, she was shunned

But her trials had only begun

Desperation, confusion

Words and actions like contusions

So she went away

It was not her price to pay

Someone must understand

There must be a better land

She goes from place to place

Remembering neither names nor faces

And you know what?

She’s still searching
