Something dark Something new

I learned a fact today. A horrid fact that I can't seem to process, or afraid to process. I can't understand but at the same time refuse to accept what is in front of me. Someone was deprived of aspects of life I think everyone should have because they have the right to it. Yet, this person accepts it as a way of life; that it was a way of life. I'm just so confused on how to deal with the information. Do I face it head on and accept what has happened? Or attempt to think and confront the issue head on? It makes me physically sick to think about it. Wishing, hoping and praying that I can get over it tonight...so I can look at the person tomorrow.

The pain, the stitches and the pressure must have been bearable because it was custom. She relied on her reasoning to push through. Never knowing what was left behind, what was never felt. Taking away what was given freely. However, faith goes so far.

I'm too disgusted/confused/sick to continue.
