Vanessa

By. Tanya Kathleen Fader

reaching for the pale
in of darkness
I’m glad I found the
shadow that so long
burnt my soul
so glad I danced
with it long enough
to understand I am
so fortunate to
see the murder of
my soul before it
came to be
my sister doesn’t
understand
justice is a flower
never bloomed
