Abuse

House
Older than her years


Walls aching and cracked
Spackle masks but does not mend
A lifetime of pain


Nails driven with such force
Beauty goes unseen

...we all do...it doesn't matter if the abuse is self-inflicted, or by some abusive jackass...

and curb-appeal?? yours doesn't stop at the curb! you've got it thru and thru!
