Someone to fear

My voice echoed

Through the chaos

Of who you are

My cries distorted

By you, someone to fear

The terror you caused

You used me while

You abused me

No care — I say no

But I wouldn’t dare

Fear shown through

Stain glass windows

In crevices, blood

Inscribed a date

A date I was going to die

Locked away — left

A time to think

A time to fight

For the little

Life left inside me

With maybe minutes

Left and one option

To fight back

Until I could win back

My life, my freedom

And I did —
