Sacrifice
I released a shout.
Which I hoped would get out.
Of this barred window.
I feel as alone as a widow.
I feel the presence of strangers.
Who led me toward dangers.
Is that a needle or a dagger?
I will take either- it doesn’t matter!
As long as this sacrifice.
Will lead to my mom’s advice.
So I can re-enter my own home.
And escape this electric dome.
