Sometimes she gets the urge to keep on travelling, to keep on moving, to keep on searching But in fact, it’s only because outdated attachments had become her safety And broken promises had become a guarantee Not that it felt good - but tension showed up like a past lover she could rely on She…
In the name of God (apparently)
They raise her to take a knee before man. To accept defeat as a natural born state. But she has never known war. She was born into conflict. A conflict so unfair. A conflict so deceptive.
