She Searches For Love (Other) by validus_vox

She walks the earth in search of truth With a few hopes in mind and a tune in her ears She sifts through people in search of gold Daily, it seems, someone new is breaking her hopes Bringing tears of pain… …and visions of escape from the haste Becoming a nomad, her roots seem to be lost Drifting through life …like a feather in the wind People come and go Leaving temporary memories But serving permanent scars This journey strengthens her mind And calluses her heart Maybe her mind isn’t naturally deficient But damaged by those who hurt her To her, I speak gently and calmly “This soul has good intentions… …let me see the real you” With a quirk little smirk she opens her arms With a tight hug she whispers in my ear… “Thank you for caring… …it is the best gift I have ever gotten” She steps back with such finesse And in her eye is a new glow One of a child getting a new toy In her step is a new spring And a heart refilled with hope

i understand what you are trying to say in the manner that someone may look at this without the knowledge of the background and see the sexist image of it. but this, i think, is a problem with most people today. they read so much into everything and find something offensive in almost everything. i dont want the characters in these to have names, i think it allows the reader to feel themselves fit in the position much better.

and i made the remarks towards kidnappers and rapists because thats what i think of when i think of tinted window vans. no im semi confused, i see you dont want me to stereotype men and women, yet you stereotype a teenage male for driving a certain vehicle. hmmm, understandable for someone thats very protective. i myself am skepical of some of the people that drive the cars they do, in a way it is a self expression. i myself have a customized stereo in my car for the soul purpose that i love music and good sound. but now i understand what yer saying and i hope you can see what im saying. thanks for taking your time to read and respond to all this.
