The warrior
who knows her weakness
walks barefoot through fire
just to prove she’s still alive
Not to be born
would have been mercy
The kindest mercy
But I was chosen
Condemned
To pain
To dream against my will
This flesh
A cage
Of borrowed time
This mind
A mirror
painfully aware
of its end
To pray why
to whom
She cannot see
And my child
my child…
I love her so deeply
that she will not exist
Not into a world
so cruel
to turn love
into a curse
