As the eagle was killed by the arrow winged with his own feather, so the hand of the world is wounded by its own skill. -Helen Keller

I watch her
As she cries
As she sinks
Underneath
The lies
I see her
When she hides
When she cowers
Beneath
Their gaze
I find her
In the black
In the blood
Surrounded
By demons
But I watch
I watch her
Suffer
Through these times
And I pray
For her recovery
Of her sick
And damaged mind
