Prey
If they had felt what I would feel,
Sunk their feet in to wear my shoes,
A hunted prey who ran for the hills,
Draped with blood, abraded bruise;
Poached tears of terror and despair,
Acquainted fear that grips the heart,
Caught between crosshairs and the snares,
Extinguished all hopes and dreams apart;
Held on my dear life to make the run,
While I gasp for air with every breath,
Outrun the arrows and loaded guns,
Escaped the hands of certain death;
Braved the horrors to tell the tale,
Trailed and stalked but not fall prey,
Conjured an angel to be my bail,
By divine grace, I lived another day;
To choose the world for all its good,
Forgive the malice done upon me,
Matters not if they had understood,
I am love untethered and free;
