I Ran Poem by Mahlubandile Phillips

I ran so fast
I breezed through the night
in pain no matter how much
I ran the memories of the fight

A night shattered my light
Ohh the world fell apart
brothers discovered I ran

The search begun
Till this day the night
haunts me
The banging door, yelling
a child's cry siblings
have forgotten who they were
the day of celebratetion
turned to a blood fight
I kept going packed up
my pain and ran

To a place no faces could
see me cry but fear not
the next sun I put up
a smile.
