...And She Lived. Poem by Micha Memory Asime

Silent at night
Siezed with fear...
The pain was too much
Her virginity lost.
She bleed a tonne;
and cried the sea
... and she lived.

Never expected it
but it was so...
Her body shook
like a tree
hit by lightening
...and she lived.

The days after were hard
filled with hell
abused same and same
...and she lived.

The day came
Labour was early
she was frail
and was almost gone
but she thought back on the days
...and I lived
she said and fought on.

Heavy blood loss
and she hurt in between her thigh
now it is, all is lost
she thought for she was weak.
Then she heard the little cry
and gave a weak, sweet smile.

Up she looked
and saw her little struggle
felt her passionate wailing
through all that...?
she asked...
...and she lived
they responded.
