Poem...

This is a poem I wrote dedicated to all those innocent people victims of modern day slavery and human trafficking.

Alone in a bedroom—

Alone in a life I did not want—

I did not choose—

I do not need.

My soul is scarred and my heart is broken.

Mouth taped shut—

Arms bound—

I cannot move

But my soul stretches forth its weary hand.

I look to heaven—

save me.
