Trafficking Targets

For every criticism
aimed at you
like a bullet
protect your heart
with a shielded mind.

 

For every ridicule
fired at you
like a tranquilizer
guard your emotions
with selective language.

 

For every insult
whipping you
like a scorpion
block your tears
with unbiased eyes.

 

For every belittlement
slashing your soul
like a bully
defend yourself by
proving them wrong.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Human trafficking is the illegal trade in human beings for the purposes of reproductive slavery, commercial sexual exploitation, forced labor, or a modern-day form of slavery.
