The challenge was "just when you thought it was safe."
Today is the fifteenth of November,
The middle of the month,
My month.
I was born in this month.
And I was a middle child.
Just when I thought it was safe,
Yes, I thought I had returned home,
To safety.
To people who cared
I was attacked in a most vicious way.
Later, I saw a film on TV
About wolves,
The older wolf didn't like a younger sister,
And drove her from the pack.
We are animals after all.
And our behavior is the same.
This happened many years ago.
But I have not forgotten,
It is like yesterday.
And I do not expect to forget.
Sometimes behavior
Goes over the line,
Goes too far,
Erases the past,
There is no going back.
