Broken Silence

Here's my story of my own enslavement

 

Broken Silence

 

Sojourning through life in a quest for love,

longing acceptance in world full of sorrow...

Rejected by loved ones in a domestic nightmare;

 A vision of solitude in a quarry of tears...

Care to the wind in an unknown world;

 into the arms of a savior, at last...

A soul is weighted in a perilous balance,

 gasps for life were drowned by such fury.

Days became months in a hell of why's;

released by a neighbor after desperate cries...

Wandering the streets, rejected by shelters;

Identities burned, existence was silenced ...

One, so sincere, witnessed the needs,

approaching lovingly, benevolent kindness...

The words seemed so honest, a hand stretched forth:

 Grasping it with faith, true life was at hand...

The months went by being trafficked and sold;

the endless nightmare of clients and slavery.

Greeted by hopelessness at every turn;

a dungeon of horrors, threats and death.

From city to city a traveling brothel;

the souls of the lost in a tapestry of darkness.. 

Fleeing a client who knew all the ropes:

Eyes blinded by the god of money.... 

The song of revenge birthed a glamorous Madame;

total control of a deceptive kingdom...

Creating an empire once loathed through despair;

flashback's reality launched the escape.

Giving possessions to people in need;

lights from a distance with its riches and emptiness. 

From church to church in various states,

pleading for help in a plight for freedom.

Broken and battered eluding fierce captors,

a book of numbers became a good friend.

Destiny led to the "Breaking Away;"

perceiving a victim, embracing a being.

Frightened and lonely, they consoled out of love;

tears of healing, a spirit of joy....

Years have gone by with the will to survive;

enduring the pain,  reaching out to others.

Telling this story to shine forth the light,

freeing the captives to live once again.

Breaking the shackles of those still bound;

finding true love in the rescue of others...
