I try to imagine being in different places.
I see myself in the church but God just stares at our faces
So maybe at home but it hurts even more seeing a full house yet an empty home
My skin hurts mostly as I lay below a man whose thrust breaks my strength and life
Every forceful penetration reminds me of the things your society has denied me.
Education you deprived me,
Early marriage you caged me with,
Subjecting me to the kitchen that never should have been my home.
Maybe I should lay still tonight. Perhaps he'll have mercy or forget
But the more I fidget, the more you smile
Suddenly I hear myself pleading for help from an adult meant to protect me
Ripped is my beautiful dress
I struggle not to pass out but the more I try, the more I hurt myself
Every punch I throw seems to make you only stronger
Every tear that drops waters the roots of your pleasure
For you, only my pain makes you pleased
Has my youthfulness suddenly made you feel younger?
Oh, You've taken it all!
I should dangle loosely from the curls of a rope
I should take pills to heal my pain or to heal my shame as I ascend from this world
How do I say that I've been robbed of my choice?
I'm embodied in fear, shame and guilt of a crime I did not commit
This was supposed to be my decision
Whence, whom and why has been stolen from me or rather ripped from me
Still I live in the darkness that lightens your mood
After all, I'm only a girl-child. What justice can a girl like me bring a man to?
These are the pain and hurtful memories some of our women were/are subjected to.
I hope my poem gives you the voice, anger and strength you need to speak up. Cry, be angry, don't cry, don't be angry. You're free to express your emotions however you want to but NEVER let it decide who you become. You're a victim but most importantly, you're a SURVIVOR
Be the voice people need and speak up. The world will listen. We will back you up!
We will fight for and with you! Let us make an example of these stupid male avariciousness
We're all against female and sexual violence/molestation of any kind!
