silence #2

I see her like no one else could with just their eyes
I see her blank face covered with lies

She was granted wings to let her go free
But still she couldn’t fly, she couldn’t flee

The elves took her feet so she couldn’t walk
The trolls took her voice so she couldn’t talk

Her hands chopped off so she would not write
About the truths in the world, about the fights

All she has left is tears flowing down her cheeks
And her body covered with tattered sheets

She does have wings to make her fly
But her people… she couldn’t let them die
