Tell me where to find you
Beyond the eyes that have seen horror
The legs that can barely walk
Tell me where to fetch you, in the night
Beyond the window of the place where they are keeping you
Come back to our footpath
Take my hand,
I have been scared to visit
To see you in that place with the vacant young women
The brokenness,
Everyone wearing slippers
But if you let me
I will break you out
Give me a sign
And we’ll go back together
To our footpath.
Your poems are now all just gems. This one says it so well - we are a team and I will come. it has magic and soreness, but more than anything a type of brave heart that belongs to that wonderful time known as girlhood. This is a brave heart girl poem.
