my rich uncle.

My rich uncle.
My father's elder brother.
Who came for me from my parents house.
My parents are poor and can't afford my education.
He took me to his house which is far away from my village.
He gave me my own room to sleep in.
Little did I know the wicked intentions of my uncle.
He sneaks in my room every night to rape me and if I struggle he beats me up and still rapes me.
Who will I complain to?
So far away from home.
I'm starved because his wife doesn't like me
I eat the crumbs that fall off their tables.
I work throughout the day washing bowls, clothes and fetching water.
I reported him to the police but he bribed his way out.
His wife beat me up because she said I have accused her husband falsly.
My uncle beat up with a stick which caused serious injuries on my body.
I had high hopes of going to school because my uncle could afford my fees,
he lied he would take me to school.
He has taken advantage of my parent's povertious status to rape me.
I'm traumatised, depressed, frustrated, in pain and lonely.
Who will I go to?
No one to run to.
No one to talk to.
No one to seek advice from.
I'm being raped, beaten and starved.
The pain is in my heart.
Who will I pour it out to?
I'm afraid of the dark because of the pains it brings me, the suffering, the hurt and tears it causes me.
The only institution I know that can help me has failed me.
How I miss my village.
He is ruining my life, education and future.
Who will I cry out to?
My freedom has been curtailed.
I'm being deprived of my rights.
All because of poverty
Who will vindicate me?
My rich uncle.
