to the trafficked women

I’m sorry For the days you wondered If God could hear you And I never said Anything 

I’m sorry For the nights you cried For someone to save you And no one Came 

I’m sorry For the chances I had That I didn’t take Because I was Busy 

I’m sorry For letting the magnitude Of the injustice Paralyze me from doing Something

I’m sorry For how terrifyingly long You had to wait Alone

You can do something.
