Pain fills my body as another arrow cuts through my back. I'm on my knees crawling away from the pain you caused me. You stand there and watch as blood runs down my back. You have people circle around us because you want to show people how weak I am. I feel the warmth of blood running down my back and tears threaten to spill over. I see through your act of strength. Your scared of them finding out that you're weak while I'm strong. I feel one last arrow pierce my skin as I fall. I lay on the grown watching the grass sway in the wind and I push my off the ground. I reach back and pull out the arrows. I stand holding them in my hand as the wind blows my hair across my face. I look you in the eye as I brake the arrows in my hand. You caged me and wounded me everyday but now its time for me to fly free of your grasp. My wings spread out, strong and beautiful. I laugh as you take a step back from me. You realized your mistakes a little too late. They all see how weak you are now compared to me. I still stand  after all the pain you put me through. You can't stand after taking one arrow to the back. I'll fly above it all with wing of grace and beauty as you fool another girl. The trap you use has grown old. I'm not alone when it comes to once falling into your trap. But I have learned from the mistake I made so long ago. I'll save every soul I can from your trap because no one deserve's what happened to me. You are the one that we need gone from this world of pain. It takes an army to take down one man.  we are the warriors that defend the weak and innocent.
