*** Trigger warning ***
By Monica C. Voskamp
Frozen pillar of femininity,
Stuck in time
Stuck in a memory
Of evil haunting.
Broken spell,
Touch of love
Poison gushing
Woman melting
Gasping for air.
Years of pain hidden
Now over taking,
Wounded woman reliving,
Rape.
Gentle presence whispering
Holding her steady
As woman’s fragility
Shatters without warning.
Quiet presence listening
Screams releasing
Watching her nightmare
Resurface all over again.
Woman unfrozen
Woman broken
Woman reliving
Tragedy.
Nightmare trauma,
Cruel suffering
To live it not once
But all over again.
Always hope. Always believe. Always love. ❤

Well put -thank you!
“Restless thoughts of uncertainty rip us apart
Dark vision softly creeping
And the vision still remain
In restless dreams we walk alone”
