Who Could Help Me? Poem by Malaya Roses

WHO COULD HELP ME?
TO STAND ON THE BEST ROOT OF COURAGE
DEFY WIND
STOP HURRICANE
FLOW AT THE BEST LAKE OF ATTRIBUTION
BEING HERE
BEING TESTED TO KNOW LIFE
IF THE FAMILIES OF OWN
KEEP SAYING IGNORANCE
ACT OF THE ABANDONMENT
DISREGARDING HUSH OF SORROW WITHIN
AT MY DOOR
IT WASN'T ME ALIVE
HEREWITH A NARRATIVE SUBMISSION
LIFE IS COMPLICATED
SUFFOCATED
BUT IT IS ME
UN-MASKED WOMAN WITH A DAUGHTER
REFUSING THE LAST BROKEN SURFACE OF RESPECT
HUMANITY OR COMPASSION
LEFT TO DIE OR LEFT TO FIGHT
I CHOOSE THE DAGGER WITH DIAMOND
SORRY IN ADVANCE
A BLADE IS NOT BLUNT
ON MY HAND
EVERY TAKEN MUST BE RETURNED
ACCORDINGLY.
