Over In Waves

-Over in Waves-
by
Keaton Foster



Running through fields
Over in waves
So many abused children
All escaping
All ready to face life
Upon their own terms
Forced into adulthood
Boys made men
Girls made women
Never again
Will they be touched
There is a point
Where all victims
Fight back
There is a point
Where all victims
Find the strength to flee
Escaping all they have ever known
Never again
Will what has been, be
Freedom upon their feet
Over in waves
They set themselves free
As well as embrace
A new life
Devoid of what it means
To be abused in such terrible ways
Where they are going
Means nothing
All that matters most
Is that they are leaving
Fleeing into the distance
Devoid of the past
Certainly for a time
Their wounds will remain
But even such grievous wounds
Will heal
Turning into scars
That can be used to remind them
Of where they have been
And what has been done
Never again will they be hurt
Never again will they face
What it means to be abused
They are victims
Turned into people
That from this moment on
Will live life under their own weight
Over in waves
They go
Fleeing into the unknown
Where are they going
None dare know
But one thing is for sure
They won’t be coming back…
