Numerous times, she would ask what she done to deserve the things happening to her. I always have no answer, for the so many things i want to express, this is one moment that I am speechless...for she has been a kind soul to everyone who is privileged enough to know her acquaintance. She told me she has no one to depend on but herself. She deals with so many brutalities, though physical is not one of them. Pity is the last thing she needs, but I pity her for all the emotional wounds inflicted to her fragile heart.
She still smiles...she still breathes...but no one will ever heal the scars covering her soul. She once whispered to me...in spite of her family, she is alone. I told her I am here but she simply smiled...she must have been thru too much to feel what care is.
She holds on to one entity...her ever-beloved mother who comforts her in spite of the vastness. I think we all do...in times of pain, wishes for a mother's comforting hug...
As I look at her, in spite and despite of everything, she seems to be enveloped in this glow of light emanating from her soul...truly a person captivating my admiration...
