40 days of poetry - Day 3


You are within the hardest day
Waiting for us to walk into it
Completely unaware of what is coming
Blissfully ignorant of evil
The luxury of ignorance
Seen in our happy step and routine

And You’ve seen us walk out
Of the hardest day
Broken, not walking as much as
Crawling
Ravaged by the knowledge of evil
Upon our people
Our tears marking the path
Where we’ve been

The ground beneath our feet
As broken by the weight upon us
As we are
Anyone would recognize the journey that
No one wants to travel

And You’re there a decade later
Tracing the scar that day left
Knowing it will never leave us
Reassuring us scars are okay
You know scars intimately
You will never leave us either
