They come from all sides
So many wounds
So much torture
The compression seems endless
As do the tears

Some of the attacks for seen,
But could not be denied
But those to the outlying sentries that always stand tall..
The senseless assault
No warning, no reason at all

Those for seen
Don't hurt less
Just compound the pain
Focus it to a sharp point
To ****** between by *******

There is no breath
To yell or to scream
To beg or to humble
Whisper or mumble
An ask for help

It wouldn't come
It can't
It doesn't know how
Or what to do
To make right

So all the warrior queen can do
Is throw back her shoulders
Stand tall and proud
Knowing she will survive this too
And be stronger for her tenacity tomorrow
