Nightmares,
dark shadows,
blood stained
walls and floor,
these are not
just illusions
but her overt fears
which she fights
amidst tears
and clenched fists;
waiting to end
the ordeal
with smiles
and not her life.
So many of us are haunted with past or present fears/events. This is for all the brave women who ended such life to live a new one not succumbed to it.
Inspired from Sunday Scribblings
Prompted also at One Single Impression
poignant poem!
