In the deep dark woods, a dark dark
depth took away the shine, of a small girl
left, it wasn't a threat it was a theft, took
away everything from the little girl's Shelf.
Minam a little girl was send away to a
boarding School, it was 1970s a time
where woman were only taught to
become good wives to rich bossy
Husbands.
In thosc dark times it was impossible for
a little girl to survive, with a tainted heart
and shattered soul she stood beside the
Sota as hcr tather spoke ot the news of
her acceptance to St.Patrics Girls
Boarding School.
The room around her was exhausting she
could fccl the walls holding the breath of
the room with in they weren't ready to let
go, looking at all that exhaustiVe attirc ot
the room she could feel herself exhausted
too.
"Are you nervous Miriam?" Miriam's
Mom Hella asked her she was a kind lady
but with a mind no indifferent then the
others like her father looking down from
ovcr the top Window. Mother askcd
Miriam a contusing questions turns out
Miriam knew exactly how she was fecling
"I am too scared to be nervous"
Now that was just sad, at that time Girls
who spoke that way were considered
treachcrous and wickcd with a dark scnse
of humor
Miriam's Mother Hella after listening to
that was more deternmined that her
decision for Miriam is correct that she
indecd nccded to know about all the
tacts, and opinions about being a lady.
Merciful Lies, Miriam whisperecd to
hersclf.
The word sound quite delicate at the
moment she coulcl fecl it cchoing inside
her mind, however, it was just to calm
Miriam's rendered hcart.
Cross, of Jesus hanging around her neck
like a Suicide rope, she could feel it all
inside thc pendant thc Jesus pendant
around her Neck it was too heavy.
The reason it was so hcavy wasn't its
Weight it was its origin. The pendant
rcpresentcd cverything that she was
carrying It was a gift by the same parents
who didn't want her the way shec was.
The gift was but a burden. It was a
Constant reminder of all the
responsibilities, and work that had been
bcstowed upon her. She knew that her
pendant was too heavy to be worn. She
sat on her seat on the Car that would
drop her at her new School. As the Car
started, and she was tar away trom her
home Miriam threw the pendant off the
Window. She felt a lot less heavier now,
she felt lighter and casy as if the burden
ot responsibilitics that she carricd was
just reminiscence.
