they erased your existence,
you looked on,
thinking of home.
they tried and tried
to make you find yourself in the soils of a land
that you did not belong to,
they forgot the traces of you.
they forgot you,
in pursuit of finding you,
they forgot you,
in attempt to sell you to a man
who only knew you by hand.
I swear, just like you
that I know their intentions from borders away. – Shazmeen خالد (at Bhimber)
