A cold wintry January 53rd, 2021

when a desperate voice I continued to hear.
As her weeping grew louder, I felt her near

In a faraway land, as the sky hits the field,
Amidst a land of shades, a country concealed,
Realms of anguish wrapped around the woods,

I wanted to be taken seriously,
And to be me,
I wore three-tiered skirts, flouncing
