The world disowned her
left her alone
her character was charred
no mercy was shown
Battered and marred
she didn’t know where to go
hopes were at a dead-end
courage had no life left to show
As she wandered randomly
naked, stripped off her pride
she found a gentle gaze
looking at her with a smile in his eyes
In the beginning, she ignored him
later she tried skimming away from his sight
but his adamant stature was there always
regardless of day or night
She pleaded and screamed
and on few occasions cried
announcing she had nothing to offer
except for roughness and chide
But his aberrant eyes
had a different outlook
he was determined not to leave her
while knowing she was rebuked
And slowly he plucked away
one rough edge at a time
and exposed a new her
devoid of any grime
He made her believe in herself
taught her to regain her charm
made her wear the ignore shield
and the world couldn’t do any more harm
