Burned
By circumstances
Out of her control.
Betrayed by a God, a life
she is taught not to question.
Born the first of seven
girls, to a man who wants
boys. A man in love with Johnnie
Walker Black and the power
wielded by a drunken hand.
Pattyn can’t accept
the role she is destined
for: as a wife, homemaker
and baby making machine.
One misstep and unforeseen
stroke of luck
show Pattyn real love and
a world of acceptance and freedom.
But can it be
too good to be true.
In rhyme can she find
her happy ending.
Written in poetic verse, Burned is the tale of a young woman trapped in a life, family, and religion she didn’t choose, doesn’t want to accept, can’t get away from, and is inevitably tied to.
