Reject

She cannot take life or this dream of death anymore
Nor could a sane observer accept her torment
As always, she sits in her apartment alone
Feeling the world expecting her to try even harder
Punished for the sins of those who would spit on her soul
Women are always the first to be blamed
The bruises on her face tell a story beyond words
The sun will go down soon, the last vestige of light
Alone again, next to a silent telephone
Tears dripping onto her dress
Wow, sorry if this one's too dark. Though for all our talk of being a "progressive" society women are too often treated like dirt.

This is morbid and I love it. I can feel the despair in her heart, the will to accept that she is not worth it. I have fallen into a pit of despair like this before and it makes me think of how I felt like there was no one there for me. I like how it just stops. You have to make up your own mind of how she handled herself. It brought tears to my eyes. Though I have never been physically abused like this woman, I know how it feels to feel completely unworthy and in her situation I can picture what the ending would ome to. Thank you for posting this. Words can't describe how much this poem speaks to me.
