Trinket box
Freely open
Remember, examine, question
Peek inside
Old wounds
Raw, bruised
Suspiciously subdued
Cautious? ...Exhausted
Spent.
Cold, Shining, Still
Reminders 
Love, dreams,
Pain
Will to fight
Freedom? Chains?
Conquered. Enslaved.
I remain, respectfully
Reverent
Pieces of me

Hurricanes
Curiously calm...
Tokens.
Stepping stones?
War cries?
Survival guide.
Warning signs?
Go home, girl.
Grow up, girl.
A lesson learned
A witness
A lie
And peace
