Goddess of Suffering

She has no mercy for herself

Her duty is to others

Selflessly she  keeps the peace

The penitence of Mothers.

 

Forgive me now the Pedestal

I see it was your Cross

My adoration kept you on

Your pedestal of Loss.

 

Forgive me too my arrogance

I thought I saw you true

Your saintliness a chosen role

Full You I never knew

 

Holy Suffering now Unveiled

Goddess Martyr Self-Impaled.
