Born a slave

Beneath the veil
She is pale
Waiting for the sun to peel
Tears fall
Her sweat trails
In a hail
She is frail
Can't afford to fail

On all fours/foes
She prays
Unique is she
A critique of the oblique
Her soul opaque
As the heart of her pupil
Feeling scorn and torn
To the bone
She mourns
Born by a bond unknown
