After watching an emotional documentary, I decided to write about it.
~Crimson shed, Scarlet veil, Ruby tears~


Take me from this place

No one can see my face

It is all hidden by a cloak of darkness and fear.

When you look into my eyes,

The river falls.

Silence and darkness lurks the halls

Someone screams, but who can you call?

He didn't have to kill her....

In a way, she's out of her misery but she didn't have to die.

He didn't want her to put shame to the family's name

He still walks free where it is believed to be only a man's world and the women are just soil for them to plant their seeds.

Incest

Mothers cry
Families lie
Daughters die

These women tried to fight back but they were stoned to death!

A girl ran away, but returned only because her family promised to forgive her, but they shot her dead!

A girl who is pregnant from her brother remains hidden because she is terrified!

Red skies will swallow the wrong ones whole and they will burn in the fire!

Walls will be broken.

Then you can go!

You can run without looking back.

You no longer have to hide.

Put all tragedies behind and look forward to regaining freedom and pride.
