What do you see # 288- 12 May, 2025. Sadness.

This is Sadje’s “What do you see” challenge. Rules here

Welcome back to another WDYS prompt

Do these pictures inspire you to write something?

For the visually challenged reader, this image shows a young woman sitting sideways. Her left arm is exposed and shows a tattoo. The tattoo says in red ink; “Love yourself not me”

She always knew best,they all thought, she was the coolest in the gang! They all thought. She led by example .. her fashion her style. Then she met Ethan.
The day she finally revealed her latest tattoo was planned right down to the last detail.
She wanted to make a point… She wanted to end it with him… Privately not with all the others watching
She sat on the ledge of the multistorey car park next to Ethan, her abusive controlling boyfriend !
Slowly she rolled her sleeve up and revealed her arm.
Ethan as was not impressed, not only had she got another tattoo without asking him .. he didn’t like it’s meaning. Looking him in the eyes she said “you don’t love me you just want to own me , and it’s all because you are insecure and have never felt loved.”
She was right, he knew it, she knew it but he didn’t want to be told.
Rage in his eyes he pushed her …
She didn’t stand a chance…she flew through the air silently…As she hit the ground twenty stories below with a thud she stopped the traffic.
She was dead …gone…Ethan felt no remorse he was still angry…

For the visually challenged reader, this image shows a few flowers lying on the parapet of a high-rise building. In the blurred background, the tall buildings of a cityscape can be seen.

The investigation into the young girls death was finally abandoned… unfortunately the CCTV had not been working that week and no one had seen her go up to the roof of the car park. No one knew what had happened, or that under her bright persona was a frighten and bullied girl. They all bought flowers and trinkets to the ledge as a tribute to her. They all noticed that the first flowers were three orange Gerbera and a huge Daisy like flower. ..Her name way Daisy. They all noticed too that Ethan was conspicuous by his absence.

No one ever saw Ethan again , they didn’t know he’d left town the next day . Unfortunately for Ethan he’d tripped and fallen in front of a lorry and had been killed . It was a freak accident. Some say they saw a young girl standing at the curb ….She was pointing to a tattoo on her arm.

So excited… It’s coming soon!

Heartland Echoes

Welcome to my “Heartland Echoes,” where I aim to share my poems with the world, along with my survival story and autobiography of childhood abuse, motivational quotes, and much more. Through my words, I hope to inspire others to share their own stories and experiences. Each poem is a piece of my heart and soul, along with a story of a traumatic past, crafted with inspiration, Hope, faith, love and passion. I believe that by sharing our art and emotions, I’ll be able to connect with others on a deeper level and create a sense of community.
