This Kajira’s Journey
by jah{HoWW}

This girl always knew
That something was different
Forcing her to separate
From their neo-traditionalism ...

Did she have to separate so early?

She watches her cousins
Basking in their innocence
Early teens and tweens
Riding the waves as they come,
This one’s waves crashed
Before she could swim ...

Where was a lifeguard when she needed one?

This girl watched, discovering a world
That was the key
To all of her oddities ...
She wasn’t alone, yet
She was more alone than she had ever been.

What becomes of Youth spoiled by Fate?

Life became a waiting game,
Waiting for legality ... freedom of expression ...
For the ones who knew
To accept her as she was.

Why couldn’t this girl accept herself?

Eighteen came, and no sparks flew,
This one kept waiting, until she realized,
That she was only waiting on herself.
This kajira finally let go of the past,
And focussed on the future.

After such a long journey,
Why has this woman only just begun?
