death by scorn death by a broken heart

we all or almost all of us, other than the lucky beautiful people, have suffered from the trampling of others on our soul , our spirit, and our heart

 a little insect   moves as fast as can be, no do not step on him

but yet he is stepped on and squashed by a giant shoe.

likewise, we are not so different, instead of a shoe squishing us to oblivion

we are squashed by harsh words, ignorant ignoring, displays of  flashy beauty that can never be ours   and 

the most powerful of all, a broken heart

so we , like the insect, have insides, and we wither and slither

and eventually die..if not of old age , physical impairment

or a dreaded disease

we die instead   of a Broken heart by one or many

other human insects wearing their giant shoes :

 they are too unkind to bother

to keep safe

our heart and soul

   we do not count............

anymore.....
