My gaurdians.
Saved me from a life of hell.
Fighting for my freedom.
Together as one , bonded since birth.
Oh, how I love thee…
Once there was a girl,
So stricken with hatred,
Bathed in ugliness.
Looked down on herself,
She didn’t think she was worthy of anything.
She indulged in drinking at a young age.
Numbing the pain,
Numbing the knowing of what is going to happen.
Contemplating suicide,
To end being a burden and
a disappointment.
I was shown compassion,
For the first time.
And it changed me.
These warrior women,
Who reached out,
And saved another woman.
All it takes is your time,
A kind word, or an ear.
Stand up for one another.
Thank you warrior women,
For giving me hope and love.
Kindness is a contagious gift.
