Amidst the midnight croak
my eyes were painfully waky
for sleep elusive could not come
and my heart haunted could not rest
My mind was clouded in complete lethargy
like a swarm flying in stinging turmoil
My tears freely rained as streaks of bloody smear
My sobs spurts in chaotic control
trapped in unfathomable chasm
Hell has never been this loose
for the ache that bursts from the heart
nor the scorn that life has become a cloak
I stare into the blur of the night
stripped of dignity and honour
living in obscurity and dishonour
repugnant and rejected as nothing
insanely defined by my gender
I cry in my heart mama
I live in mortal agony
Silenced not to speak my heart
Suffocating and vulnerable
I am driven to despair
You rocked my cradle mama
You instruct me in wisdom
but deny me the right to living
You let them bruise my petals
and desecrate my innocence
Now I writhe in pain mama
The law I violated is being a woman
God formed me a woman
delicate fragile gentle
I am the mother of tomorrow
today to be cultured and nurtured
but now I face my albatross
In my bloom I face stark gloom
I cry in my heart mama
as a tool of pleasure
I am taken by pressure
Unwillingly I am torn in shreds
Hold my hands mama
give me tenderness again
Clean my tears and hold me dear
Whisper Courage into my ears
For the last time mama
before peace forever will flee my aching heart
This poetic symphony is dedicated to the girl-child in some parts of Africa who are facing gender-related problems like inequality ,rape , child marriages etc. There is light at the end of the tunnel .
Thank you for stopping by my neighbourhood .
Very well thought out
