  My voice will never be loud enough. My back aches from the pain of the dead women that I carry, I am homesick for a place that is safe, A place that I do not have to look over my shoulder, A place where my voice is not silenced by a blade to my stomach, Or a gun to my head, Sometimes a blow to my face.
