Unseen

It came like a bolt from the blue

And became a part forever,

Tender age, courageous heart, confused mind, and passionate eyes,

And the burning desire of hope 

Were ripped.

Nothing could stop the inevitable 

As it came in on her

And scattered her aspirations 

Driven to a new world,

Where her conscience couldn't reach

In somber and dismay she cried,

 Controlled by

The unknown the unwilling.

 

Left in the middle of the ocean 

Surrounded by sharks, with no way left to escape

Her heart sank and suffocated the lungs.

Cries, yells, bruises and pains

Made her resilient,

Taught her to swim and

Keep herself safe from all the perils

Of the deep dark ocean.

The water icy cold,

Drove her numb

But she still yearned 

For those days of freedom

And lamented,

Till she knew the bitter truth

Of her sacrifice 

That all the members were gratified.
