Who Am I?

By Sandra Rodriguez, UMHB Staff

Once, I lived a life in her splendor, saving each second of its days.

Its colors were so alive and as brilliant ass the rainbow on the first day of Spring!

Thus was my life until the day he arrived in it to kill it at palpitating payments.

I thought that he was my Knight in shining armor, sent to protect me; I believed he was my everything.

But it turned-out that I was wrong.

Now, I keep to myself, without having anyone to call friend.

At home, I live as a prisoner, as a ghost of a forgotten town.

My soul is undone, full of fury that runs timidly hiding from the world.

My body agonizes without daring to shout.

When you all see me, can you all see my eyes?

They scream in silence, waiting for you all to hear me, but no one does.

Have you all asked yourselves, at any time, "What is happening to her?"

I return to my house everyday, praying that today, perhaps, doesn't bring the feeling of hurt.

Oh, no! he's coming. What did I do wrong? What do I do now? Where do I hide? Can I abate this again?

God please, send someone to help me before it's too late!
