For OUR girls

Somewhere

In the dark of night

A beating heart

Lays in fear

With only memories

Of resting silently

In a bed quilted

Of safety

WE scream our rage

And expose

Our constant reality

Of blank screens

And open/shut cases

The silence no longer

Reigns supreme

At the sight of raised fists

For I'm reminded

Of the Mirror I hold

Displays brown eyes

That resembles

The innocent

Our search

Shall not be discouraged

For our lost queens

Of a brown shade
