\nas a female slave, has passed away<\/p>\n
\nI don\u2019t want to think about it
\nAnd yet the nightmares that haunt me
\nCome faster than the night and interrupt my sleep<\/p>\n
\nThe nights even more terrifying<\/p>\n
\nHave you seen the moonlight gushing streams of blood?
\nMy moon has shed blood by day, by night
\nFrom my eyes poured not tears but blood
\nFrom nose what poured was blood
\nAnd from my nether parts the blood poured too<\/p>\n
\nIf I scream will somebody come to stop this?<\/p>\n
\nMy country has been stripped of its name
\nHave I died, so I can’t remember what country I’m from?<\/p>\n
\nMy ankle bound by dozens, hundreds of watchful eyes
\nI could not escape from that shameful barracks<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/koreanlit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/\ub2e4\uc6b4\ub85c\ub4dc-2.jpeg\")
