#547 a band-aid and children's glue

i judged her

the arc shape of an egg is the strongest shape in existence
when pressed just right, the egg will withhold incredible force
but for all that bravado, the egg is as fragile a thing as nature has produced

i judged her as 29-year old white trash
but inside was an 8 year-old girl
whose trust was perverted by
a grandfather who hated himself
a child, forced to do adult things
skip childhood instead of rope
play with genitalia instead of dolls
climb into adult beds instead of children's treehouses

her self-esteem is an empty eggshell broken into three-hundred pieces
held back together with a band-aid and children's glue
Judgement
a temptation for fools and idiots
