Analysis of FOUND
LizaBella Stephenson 1957 (Harlingen)
Found
by LizaBella Stephenson
I was born into an inordinary world
Chaos reigned and I stumbled
Through the wreckage
Of emotions and acts
Which had been so carelessly discarded
By those who were older and wiser
I accepted each eventuality
As though it were normality
A routine of barren nonexistence
Sufferance and alienation
I learned to be
Benumbed by life's blue devils
And I learned to survive
Fighting and gouging for what
I knew should be
Opening into growth
Ripening into acceptance
Mellowing into love
And in the process ... I found me
