Interpretation

by kristen   Mar 21, 2005


She sits on the corner of her worn out mattress
torn at the seams, revealing whats inside.

so bent out of shape, worn down to nothing
just plain and dull with many stories to tell.

never seeing sunlight, always hidden in the corner, covered with old sheets and undeserving bodies.

stained with memories of good and bad times, patched up with love, only to be torn open again.

supporting two children,
through consciousness and dreams that turn to nightmares, comforting with warmth.

seeming so old, until looked at closer
really so young, but no one could ever see.

the folds and the the tears and the softness inside
no one will ever notice just what its like
to be looked at and judged by whats on the outside.
