Someone Else's Victory Poem by ashley dickerson

i see a shell of a face
a body in pain
standing on the edge of nothing
she is a victory for her tormentors
i see someone else
a person i don't know
a mirror image of everyone else
she is a victory for normality
i see a drowning victim
running to non-existance
seeking to feel nothing
she is a victory for downfall
i see a bleeding wrist
wrapped up in unbreakable silence
something i can't hide
I am someone else's victory
