Mercy

“If only the world had shown me a little more mercy.” She stands in the burning rubble, her dark hair whipping around her face in the wind. “Maybe it wouldn’t have come to this”, she gestures to the destruction around her. “ All I wanted was someone to show me a speck of kindness, some food or maybe a bed”. “It really wouldn’t have been that hard, that inconvenient. They were all too absorbed in t...

Only If

If only this world had shown her a little more mercy.


If and only if.


There was no reason to be crying over spilled milk. What was done is done. Unluck is unlucky. The gods had cursed her, so what use was there to keep crying and begging for her fate to be turned in her favour? It was the so-called "God's plan" as they had preached on the streets.


No matter how long and how intensely ...

a star crossed safety blanket

you hurt like chain whips lashing over your back

you hurt like a punishment

you hurt like death

so i smile like sunshine

so i hold your hand in the dark

and i kiss your words better

every night

i shake like a leaf in the wind

and when my head hits the pillow my eyes

don’t close

you hurt like ice, frigid and black

you hurt like a noose

you hurt with no room for me to hurt

you hurt...

A World With No Mercy

If only this world had shown me a little more mercy, maybe I would still have a home.

If only this world had been there for me when my mother wasn’t, when my dad left. If only this world had even cared.

But this world doesn’t care. This world mocks, this world ignores, this world breaks and tears down and hurts you more than you knew you could be hurt.

When I was younger, I used to wonder...

Mercy, If You Have Any

If only this world had shown me a little bit more mercy…


Maybe I would have stayed with you.


Things would be different and we wouldn’t be this cold. Maybe I should have stayed. But wouldn’t that be rude?


After all I’m nothing else than a traitor, the delator of your suffering, the knight of your loot and the one who stole your being.


I think it wouldn’t have mattered if it were material, no...

A Woman’s Revenge

If only this world had shown me a little more mercy; it wouldn’t be cursed with the demon within me. For the past thirty weeks, I have felt the stirs of a monster inside my womb. I have seen its talons and the snarling of its premature mouth. This child has been fighting for release, and I’m certainly ready to be rid of it.


This unwanted burden was not a mistake, but a parasite forced upon me...

Ophélie Murielle

If I was shown mercy I would be weak. But somehow in my mind I can help but yearn for the possibility that one time. But one time my Aunt would look upon me and think I wasn't anything but my fathers daughter. Amélie was here name. She lived up to it. Hard working sure. I shouldn't spite my family but I do. No matter how hard I tried I wasn't ever good enough. Too much like my Father or not enough...

Forgotten

“If only this world had shown a little more mercy, then more lives wouldn’t be lost.” Shannyn told her cellmate, Ben.

Ben climbed down from the bunk and sat on floor in front of Shannyn, who was curled up on ball. “It must have been really hard, being blamed for something you didn’t commit.” Ben said empathically.

“ Especially with something as serious as this.” Ben stroked the floor of th...
