When
you bound her
held her captive
hurled her into dens
She wasn't to blame.
When
you took her, forcefully
she ceased to be
mother, daughter, wife, person.
She was not to blame.
When
she built life anew
away from your kingdom
you robbed her of dignity
maligned her
When
she learned to speak
to hear and see
to fight, use her claws
you crushed her
neath her love.
Yet
she lived
breathed in her pain
She lived
in her heart
She lived
in her dreams
Unheared
Unseen
Unknown.
A single flame
A challenge to your hegemony.
