Life of a Friend


Heroine,
 
Not
 
Woman in need,
 
Not
 
Simple girl that needs
 
To bleed or mom bound by her children.
 
Freed not
 
By chance or need to plea,
 
For life denied by
 
Father’s spree
 
Of words, simple words,
 
Words designed to hurt and worse; more
 
Like to go in for the kill and kill
 
Her dead, send head to hell and
 
Back instead, adopt a weapon of
 
The mind and
 
Of the
 
Heart, a
 
PTSD kind of start. Not
 
shunned for her heart.
 
If only this were true.
