Thank You For Destroying Me

Grizelda Penny

Thank you for destroying me
The captive daughter
Submissive friend
Wrapped in stolen hostel linens
I was a relic with codes inside
Waiting to be smashed on the floor
In front of my traffickers
By a fool who suddenly
Connected the dots and figured it all out
I am not the ceramic shell
The ancient pottery
The golden statue
I am the invaluable scribbling
Etched on inner walls
By cave-dwelling madmen
Thank you for destroying me
