Beyond Reach
Beyond Reach
Conceived out of wedlock to a stranger or betrothed.
Hidden from familiar voice.
Stress makes you kick and squirm.
Afraid of what's to come in…
out of the light.
Sadness felt through the navel.
Water droplets echo like a dripping faucet in your cell(s)…tears.
Wishing you were bigger and stronger to escape like your mother.
In a prison awaiting your death sentence.
The ultimate secret are you,
to keep the faithful from leaving.
No vote…
No voice…
No choice…
Just a cry in the dark.
