Teabag

She's like a teabag,
floating just under water,
just enough so someone would notice her.
But nobody notices, not at all.
The string attached to her is a murderous thread viciously pulling her through the water,
not letting her rest or enjoy peace and serenity.
But yet she is still beautiful,
she still survived the harshness
of those around her.
