🍁March 25, 2022 - Lydia🍁

i sit
and stare
at the stupid wall
for days
weeks maybe
years could've passed
and none of us
would know

then they bring a new girl in
i don't know her
so she must be one of the capers
that aid in our fight

she gets shoved in the cell across mine
and we make eye contact
"my name is
LYDIA"
she says loudly
loud enough
for everyone to hear

the only guard glares at her
"no speaking"
his voice is like burnt sandpaper

"my name is LYDIA
and I am a REBEL"
her voice is clear
and strong
and i am
inspired

"my name is MAIA
and I am a REBEL"
i repeat her words
we make eye contact
again
and we both
smile
