Lost, downtrodden, empty
She aches
Forgotten, oppressed, confused
She agonizes
Forgiveness she's never known
Embittered, her heart
She stands tall, shaking
Facing evil, staring at death
The eyes of her enemy show no mercy
The unsearched soul begs comfort,
Petitions justice,
Pleads healing,
Implores saving
Afflicted, abused, unknown
She cries
Alone, sobbing, lacking
She longs
The unsearched soul
Feels a breeze
Catches a glimpse
Hope that shines
Healing that cleans
Love that fills
The greatest void
Firm she stands
Truth she holds
Love she exudes
Forgiveness she extends
I wrote this a while back after a massive influx of information on FGM. It breaks my heart and absolutely fuels my desire to go and offer my life and all that God has given to me to women across the world. This CNN article also played a role in the poem.
