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 16th November 2020
