from afar

I saw tragedy 

remembering only

bad and worst

stuck seeing 

the horrors 

imprinted images

however thinking 

of several ways

 to make

them forgotten 

-Jennie Nawrocki 

ability, skills

years of training 

curtailed, repressed

prevented from 

even making friends 

who understand

that the single 

thing requested

has yet

to be fulfilled 

-Jennie Nawrocki 

explaining feelings 

that arrive

when bombarded 

installs some

unequivocal form

of self defense 

as things

are completely 

controlled and

planned for tomorrow 

missing the

most important 

personal right

self autonomy 

-Jennie Nawrocki 

generous, completely full

contained within a web

requires focus 

towards understanding 

important values 

of ethical ideals

that are reminded 

how changes occurring 

within surviving

emotional turmoil 

were never wanted

-Jennie Nawrocki
