Knowing
By Sara Tajbakhsh

The Iranian
She declared I am,
Yet they ignored her.
She had opinions and a voice,
Yet she was not heard.
She had feelings and heart,
Yet they treated her inhumanly.
She wanted to come forth,
Yet they told her to hide.
She found a new home here,
Yet she never belonged.
She wanted to be in the light,
Yet she was in the shadows.
She had goals beyond today,
Yet they denied her dreams.
I am you,
Yet you don‚t know me.
