Thieved

Oppression keeps aggressing
you never knew of innocence
guilt , shame, disgust
humiliation leaves a wake of devastation
pointing its finger in your direction

Tell yourself its not your fault
but you don't believe
can’t remember where you left yourself
mistrust and numbness
breed a guarded heart

The seconds,  minutes, hours pass
where has time’s hands placed them?
they've taken your breath
squeezed and gagged your voice
thieving moments that never live again

Time doesn’t care
pays no regard to emotion or life
carries on beneath layered scars
impossible to see
until trust builds a bridge
