Shattered lives,
hollowed out souls;
empty eyes
shadowed with shame;
welcome.
Caught in the downdraft
eddying slow,
here's my hand;
welcome.
Success is not what you think it is:
jailing and torture,
deprivation,discrimination,
isolation,
are the seeding grounds
for growth.
Do not seek trouble
but flex with it;
look with new eyes,
adapt.
Trust
and adjust.
