Katana (Poem)


They named me after a sword,

I was born to be a tool of destruction.

From birth, they molded me,

They hammered out all the things that made me a girl,

Forging me into a weapon to wield on their whims.

I was once asked why I do not cry,

Even at the deaths of comrades or lovers.

I could not mourn my stolen childhood.

I could not cry for my lost innocence,

Because I am a weapon,

And weapons don’t weep.
