Linda Fraser 6


Nathalia, Victoria, Australia

MONSTER

To the world I am ugly
A creature born of hate
To be ridiculed and abused
By those who sealed my fate.

Lonely steps I have trodden
In a life bereft of love
Lifting up the broken
To help them rise above.

Strong they call me
When all I am is small
Left without a map
To fend for us all.

Generations before
Have tortured my soul
And still I step forward
No hand to hold.

Crouching in my tower
With darkness all around
I found my truth deeply
Where many wounds abound.

Crying to the moon
A shout flies out unbidden
I am ME
I will no longer be HIDDEN!
