A girl

Dreadful storm outside my window,

I fear knowing I must walk into you.

Your dark clouds blanket the sky,

blocking all light, nothing may pass by.

Those I love cast me to the cold outside,

Saying that it’s for my own good.

I walk the trail as many have before me,

a sacrifice made at my expense.

You toss, and destroy, and rule the world,

no one will stop you, it’s your nature.

Nor will they save me – is it their nature?

I was but a girl now suddenly mature.

Destroyer, murderer, one with no mercy,

You have the world even then you choose me.

You think you are my world, and dignity.

Take my body but never my integrity.
