Trigger warning — Human Trafficking Awareness day was on February 22, 2021; one day is truly not enough to bring light to the devastation that human trafficking has had on humanity let alone children under the age of 16.
soft outer shell + inside organs + plasma that courses = human body

why am i not in my body?
is it because my host was no longer useful?
what happened to the shell from my birth
was i not good enough anymore
i tried my hardest to behave myself
telephone books have been placed
on my belly before someone took
a wooden baseball bat and struck
i was fed an insane amount of oxy & t1\’s
at one point my body remained
listless on a bed — the last thing
i remember is the sound of my heartbeat
on a crash course up through my esophagus
my organ travelled so high through
the cold passage a lotus amidst
all the muck did not prevent
icy cold hands — as they enter
my body — pull, at my roots,
tear from their tether
now i am here
alone,
scared,
and halfway dead
i wonder what happened
to all my other vital
organs
not only was my body multiple use
even with death — there is no piece
all of my puzzles have been taken
