Unmerited Treatment Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Being driven down into abysses of forsaken love by friends,
hurting my essence and ripping my soul.

Not knowing what I've done to merit this treatment, going
through life in a depth of silent emptiness that can never
depart.

Being kept in a darkness by another, tripping into the
cisterns of hell here on earth.

Not warranting this treatment on earth by anyone, I walk
slowly away, not even hoping to be seen by any person on
earth.
