Blinded, branded

Blinded, branded
set aside
withered, wasted
open wide
cursed and cautioned
bitten twice
conceived, aborted
paid the price
dumped, discarded
spat to dust
lost, distrusted
left to rust
hurt and hated
spurned at last
refused, rejected
denied the past
alone, unwanted
dripping pain
unchained, unfettered
free again.
