Desperate Moments

Desperate times, the mind is a pain,
Wishful thinking, a shield for the slain,
Struggling, despising, starving too,
The violated pregnant in view.

A rampage of violence, mind on a mission,
The thought of a crime, a deadly mission,
Despairing choices, desperate inclines,
The assaulted feels the dreaded signs.

Offering hope, there’s still a chance,
Steady steps to take, with a glance,
Violations cease, the thought is sure,
A pregnant power, no glove is pure.

Desperate moments pass, turmoil reduces,
Violence discarded, chance to recuse,
Minds observe the plight, heart beyond fear,
Pregnant person gains purpose near.

Despair gives up, resilience returns,
Violated no more, safe and concerns,
Hope prevails, the victory is sought,
Desperate moments, forever forgot.
