Absent from the beginning.

Location

Absent from the begining not long after she exited the womb a seed was planted but never fertilized mean while she had been penalized trying to see a face she did not recognize, consecutive cries of a child from being told lie after lie she is contemplating her way out visions of a figure with a face just like hers that she cant even begin to recognize while flashbacks attack her brain, unable to breathe her eyes cant concieve what her mind tries not to believe, a man leaves while the woman on her knees yelling every other word please, the child to young to understand, slips into a deep sleep dreaming of the man she wants to meet only to be woken up to play life in a chess game, check mate she won this session but only to learn the real lesson she is not a burden but a blessing.
