Missing from the
Pick-up line,
Damaged
In-transit,
A late delivery
On the shelf
Past the sell-by date.
Fate has driven
The girl through
Frustration,
Desolation,
Destruction,
Isolation,
To teach her
Who she really was.

Loved that first stanza! What images that relays! I feel this lost child in my heart, and feel deeply her sorrow. There is intensity in this poem poet. Thank you for this entry, and I wish you well in the challenge.
Much Love & REspect ♥
