Will Someone Say; "You Are Someone?"


She's been used and abused; is she nothing? Just because he said "I love you." Is she nothing? She enters in the back and slides in the last row, the people to her left and to her right, can tell she has had a long night. Is she nothing? She feels so helpless, so alone, all she did was believe; "I love you." Is she nothing? She's a slave in her own love bind, she wants to escape but doesn't know how. Is she nothing? After it's over after that one round, he still says "I love you" just one more Is she nothing? She goes to the church for help, an escape, for hope. They can tell she has had a long night. Is she nothing? Will someone get up and say: "You are someone; can I help?"

This is about the church needing to get out of their comfort zones and helping those, enslaved. I have a huge heart for human trafficking and want to see it ended in my lifetime. If you agree, please let's band together, and make beautiful poetry for women; who will probably never see it.
