Aftermath

The sisterhood once strong now torn and battered

The words of fed up uttered outwardly

Red face, heart wounded, spirits waning

Truths told and not heard

Blankets tossed in corners of filth

Tiny wholes we box ourselves into and cry foul

How to take the bow gracefully and rise above self

Childish games meant to make laugh cause pain

Frustration breeds contempt

Faces of I don't care pass by all day long

They beg for water for food for basic care the cries go unanswered

Horror lay rotting before your feet and you say how much you care
