Formidable opponents
cannot oppose the Defender of my soul.
My job is to stand
And take Him at His Word.
Female soldiers
Who can restrain…
What you can’t understand
And God has ordained.
…true story
From you I learned
To burn myself at the stake
Every single part of myself
Not approved of by you
Thrown to the fire
Surrendered to wolves
And worse
To fulfill your desires
Thrown to the fire
We all play different roles
In individual’s stories
You will never acknowledge
The role you played in mine
Because it will destroy
Who you tell yourself
And people
That you are…
So here I am,
Learning
From heinous scars
