Raise Your Voice

The first time she was harmed, she cried…

Shattered, taken aback, beaten by the hands of inhumanity and pride,

Her heart-broken, her soul-devastated,

Darkness surrounded her, she was agitated,

Thoughts provoked her, conscious stroked her,

Fear and agony, completely choked her.

But then she realized

There is no compromise

With one’s respect, one’s worth,  one’s pride

Her eyes dried, her tears changed,

Into flames of fire, the fire of a woman’s rage.

She raised her voice, she fought against the crime,

Because for her, there was no second time.
