The Girl You Left in My Arms

                                by yashika vahi

"She's not a survivor,

she's a warrior,

she hurts and hurts but doesn't let out a sound,

she begs and begs but no one understands,

she's got the sun shining inside her,

but the darkness around her dims her light,

she tries and tries but she's just so tired,

they all expect her to care

and yet when she wants to talk,

they don't listen,

they've cut her into so many pieces,

every time she tries to heal,

she just ends up breaking herself further."
