Hiding Her Womanhood
A girl just on the verge of puberty
Unaware of the pain her body could incur
Excited on a train with family
Smiling at the countryside
Cows grazing in sunlight
The train stops at their destination
Many getting off- bodies against each other pressed
From somewhere, a rough hand grabs her breast
Her eyes fill with bleeding tears of pain and consternation
Why did she deserve
To be groped by a stranger
Was her manner wrong?
She now walks with elbows crossed
Hiding her bruised womanhood
