A History—
The Un-Loveable “She”

Version One
Unrighteous from seed
she grew
twisted
in this belief.
From infancy
FORGOTTEN;
uprooted
by HE—husband; boyfriend or brother,
any male.
(XY Species)
*
Unrivaled in affection;
diamond daughter;
the twinkle of His eye—
her goal to be.
His flight?
Unexpected
unexplained
unaccepted.
Unavoidably,
abandoned,
therefore, stigmatized;
though
undeniably
still “his child”—
an aberration on society.
*
Unsparing adulation.
Unconditional
LOVE
poured
forth
unbounded
her wide tender eyes
did see.
Soft arms spread;
prepared—
unfolded
to hugs
unquestionably
non-stingily.
Unspeakable JOY
when cries the boy—
The Recipient.
Not
unbeknownst
un-seeable; invisible
“She.”
*
Unfit
unapt
unaccomplished on
unsteady knees,
yet, thought
unwilling to help her little baby brother
in EVERY action
on EVERY occasion
in
His
EVERY
need and deed.
Her responsibility;
her priority?
For
him
mainly
to
succeed.
*
At times
unbearable
this house no haven
with ONLY
harsh tones
reserved
for her—
our female;
she
unattended
emotionally.
(Unfathomable;
this child too—same family.)
*
Though, in sunshine
allowed to dally
hopscotch, jacks,
jump-rope,
gymnastics,
especially house,
these games she loved;
she played
seemingly
unscathed,
even
innocently.
Unruly hair plaited
dreaming
princes
happily ever after
in earnest
in purity.
*
Yet, then
unripe
and so
unwary
untried and
too trusting—true;
yes
unwittingly a temptress
in earnest pursuit
of this
elusive affection;
caught;
unblushingly,
yes greedily
plucked—her fruit.
Questions not asked:
When
and by
who?
*
Gone—
youthful glee
derailed;
ignorance
un-veiled
—officially.
*
At any moment;
round any corner;
from every shadow—
sometimes
she’d flee
those creepy fingers
grabbing; groping—
(no longer
hoping when
shades
at windows
drop
passively.)
Nurturing soft hands?
Unsupportive;
those lips
set firmly
won’t lift
our girl’s
self-esteem.
From this point forward
words
unuttered
proclaim her body a
“Commodity.”
*
Untaught—not
un-teachable
in morality
breeds a mind
not
unaffected
and a vow
NOT
TO
CARE!
now this child’s anthem.
Her solemn creed.
*
Instead
she learns
unassuming,
so as to be
or
unbending
in expectations;
unbecoming
in personality;
ungovernable
to the oomph
degree.
*
Thus,
our glowing,
self-knowing
beautiful princess
unschooled—
for lack of the example
unadvised—
as to authority
is so
unready—
to be successful
in this
HOLY
Matrimony.
Since,
unaccustomed
to real warmth
and security
unsettled
when asked to please
the destined “Ex”—
her beloved husband’s
expectations
anyway; but in sexuality;
the relationship
unravels
speedily.
*
Intellectually, scaling
unreachable mountains
untouchable
this lioness in mentality;
a regal queen in disposition
athletic physically;
thus, doomed to form
an
unholy union;
since, abused
previously.
Thus
our unbalanced
she
again becomes abandoned
by
another
“He.”
*
Feeling fraudulent;
such a failure; a victim,
demolished
her
femininity;
no longer
untarnished
her reputation—
“he”
dismissed
as
unaccountable
and
free.
*
Is it really so
unreasonable
unrealistic—
don’t you believe,
to expect her
unreserved
smiles;
rather then
this façade
we usually see,
as underneath
seethes
intense
bitter
anger;
not unjustified,
but still
destructive
cause
unsheathed ardor;
birthed
utter desolation,
unsearchable sadness—
the consequences of promiscuous
lady
she.
*
Had we pushed even silently
our dear “she’s”
unconditionally
aside for “he’s?”
*
Well now she cuddles
her own precious
“wee little things”
gazing down so tenderly—
he so boisterous
and so demanding,
unapproachable
in his demands—wouldn’t you know?
Don’t you think?
Yet,
She
waits patient and lovingly
for her turn
next
in arms of nurse
(kind, but
unattached)
for her mother’s eyes
to meet and greet.
*
Can
She--our once hopeful
darling daughter
not
actually
perpetuate
this constant ugly
vicious cycle
of hate?
Can
She--our once hopeful
darling daughter
not mirror
you know,
imitate
even
unconsciously
through slanted
mommy eyes
“Girl
unworthy?”
of love.
A mistake

"She"
