Forsaken

 

in the dark she runs, falls

succumbs to a hot violence

 

in the light she rises sore

bleeding and bruised

 

her throat too dry to cry out

the dirt grits in her teeth

 

she has taken her own

sweat soaked blindfold off

 

created for herself this

new painful awareness

 

soul wrenching compassion

with no place yet to go

 

mixed with an edgy anger

burning with a choking fear

 

she wants to feel better

know something good

 

but not even eyes closed

not even when she dreams

 

name her what you want

she has so many names

 

pick a language, a country

call her, Forsaken

 

or just call out for Justice

she will answer all the same
