Sacrifice:

I sacrifice myself
In the name of the ones I created
I stand in the midst of the crowd
Of strangers who threaten
My power to protect
The lives that I brought forth

I feel my heart ripping
Falling in the midst of fear
Because he took her
My tears fall like the leaves
On a stormy night
Leaving each thought behind
Asking what if or how come
I feel Fearful

Frightened

Worried
That she’ll never return
I think to myself
That Coward

Careless
Stranger
Has taken the life of my child
Has no empathy to what would have been
A long journey for me
In my child’s life
The agony and pain
Is tearing up my body
As if there’s no more of me

I have become weaker and trying to catch my breath
As if it was my last one
Wishing and praying
That one day she will return to me
And hoping that the coward, guilty shameful person he is
Will NEVER Return!

Sacrificing something is a big step in someones life because it could put their lives in risk or someone elses. I put myself in someones shoes and wrote a poem about someone who sacrificed so little for something so huge in their lives.
