This was written using the inspiration of Langston Hughes. I am Stained My struggles are not as yours yet my heart beats as strong for passion of the living for freedom and her song. A life lead by darkness hovering since early years tainted by violations regressed and still in tears. Unloved and unwanted never a prize to be won the road less traveled is the one I walked upon. Falsified hopes and dreams searching for a way to escape committed to a union—bound by infidelity and ill of fate. The race of life fell hard upon my narrow shoulders for the race that I had married turned my family colder To the choices I had made and unaccepted by some as transgressions yielded who I was to become. A survivor at best through the rough terrain of prejudices and intolerance. I am stained. Yet still I remain. Quatro © 3-18-2008 |

quote: And there can be a positive change eventually. I think this is a well structured, very sensitive write and touches upon a topic that is still a priority even now. I did check Langston Hughes and no doubt he deserves your mentioning him. Love, Margherita |
