Raped
Beaten
Abandoned

Left in stagnant water and pesticides.

Determined to live,
the irrigation ditch became
an empty grave.

On hands and knees,
hot asphalt and small rocks
magnified her disgrace.

Blood
Shame
Bitterness

Resurrection

A victim no more.

This write is sad and each word burns with vision. It's just that strong. But I am delighted and applaud the triumph. The will to live is powerful than we know. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Oh Lori, talk about the power of words...you have expressed volumes in just a few short sentences...How horrible for the victim, whoever she might be. The one thing these sick SOB's want is power. When we cease to be their victims, it's when the power returns to us...and then we are able to heal. Bless you for such a powerful write. Michelle

Lori,

Heartbreaking to know that so many have went through such a horrible thing. Your writing was vivid and raw, but it didn't end with the tragedy. It ended "Resurrection A victim no more." That was beautifully written. This short piece of poetry tells so much. Excellent and I'm so proud you can write about it. Keep up the beautiful writing.

I'm saddened by anyone who would exploit such an event,
but a sick mind does not act rationally!
