Unwanted
by Melissa Minners
In the corner of my mindIn the deepest recess
Sits a wounded childAfraid and alone
Terrified of the worldUnable to commit
Afraid of the pain
She cringes from the unknown
Hiding from everyone
Yet always looming
Like a bad dream
That always returns
The wounded child waits
For the moment
When her deepest fears
Will be realized
She’ll be cast aside
