Impact of Winds
tears carved vacant craters of faceless grin
fake smile wrestled with mute hollow mark
masked terror scorched a defenceless skin
soiled canvass shed masked terror in the dark
breathless submerged by cascades of sorrow
she lived charades of miscarried contempt
past smeared foul water with no tomorrow
yet the wind whispered one final attempt
she bowed to the rain and slippery grounds
took of her veil and braved the naked truth
opened floodgates to inner voice’s sounds
they had abused her and stolen her youth
she embraced assaults and gathered raw pain
harvested anger reaped rage braved her fear
wondered whether she would live once again
would ever find ways to hold herself dear
the cliff edge stood firm for one faithful move
spread overdue wings of hope trust and dreams
vowed on impact there was nothing to prove
except crushed horror and oppressor’s screams
