This Is What Justice Looks Like

the girl set free from chains

By: Alysia H.

She no longer walks with her head down, her shoulders hunched, or her eyes cast aside.
No longer carries the burdens of: guilt, anxiety, fear.
She is not alone
Surrounded by an army of love
Joined with her sisters and brothers in the fight.

She dances freely, wildly!
Casting off the glances
– the shames
– the blames

She whirls a wind stronger than the pain
Triumphant over the oppression
A fierce sign to the world that she is not broken
That she will not be tamed

Because she is ferocious
She is the girl set free from chains
