MY STORY
I don't know how to start
Because this is not an act
But unforgivable fact
NO!NO!This is not me
I can't really accept myself
Because am not me
My dignity is ruined;
Shattered and bruised;No love in me,
But hatred as i remember.
The incidence,the two cannibals
Who tore me into pieces
They took what i treasure;
With great measure;
And with great pressure;
Leaving laughing with pleasure
As though it was their leisure
Ouch!Stop this,
Yell from the bush
And with ambush;I admitted
Leaving me in a pool of blood,
Leaving me pale,
Waiting for rescue
This is not an imagination,
And not a magnification
But an intimidation
And a sexual molestation
I was left ripe
With much guilt
For that was not my wish to lose it
At a tender age of 12 years
That's not the first time
But the sixth time
It's part of an addiction
At first was my father.
This brutal father i treasured to be a God given dad
Second time was my close cousin
Third was my desk mate
Fourth my uncle
Fifth was a matatu conductor
Sixth are the cannibals
Why always me and not the rest?
Why me the the girl child?
After hospitalization,i was found anaemic
After losing too much blood
On my second test am diseased
With two dangerous diseases
HIV/AIDS and GONNORHEA
Why always me the girl child?
Am just waiting for a celebration
My burial celebration
Am looking at the coffin,
Watching the soil running deep
Flowers growing bright
Because all that will be used on that day
Don't cry or sympathize
You should cry for your children
And for the next generation
For me,fate has assured me of only 12 years
OH!Fire!Fire!Burning in my spirit
Deep in my soul
Let me chant a prayer
So that i may go to heaven
With much restness
Let me say my farewell wishes
PLEASE THIS GENERATION
TAKE CARE THE GIRL CHILD
