********

One of our heart desires is to fly above our heights,
But many have been limited to their depths,
Different circumstances  have bound us down,
And we have been struggling even till dawn.

Our lives is at the mercy of a social authority,
Who will liberate us from this captivity?
We have been debilitated in our attempt to move,
Our situation say we have nothing to prove.

Poverty has sold us into slavery,
Gone are the days when we look bravery,
But ******* has drawn strength out of us,
And now we have been treated unjust like a horse.

We thought education can give us freedom,
But we have been dealt blow in our kingdom,
In ******* we cry for rescue,
Their short comings is not an excuse.

When we are found at a very risk of life,
We count it as an experience in order to survive,
In hard situation we should not give up,
And each time we fall we should rise up.

When my complex soul is shunned,
Should I asked for help from the sun?
But my wings have been cut short by *******,
I gazed into the sky to seek for courage.

We have been feeble as well as dumb,
We have been confined and dumped,
Liberation is the only language of *******,
And will keep fighting until we are salvaged.
******* dribbled us from all fortune

push me in
pull me out
we just go back and forth
like the tides
blue everywhere
and then complete darkness
pushed all the way down below
because of the tides

I am a woman
A strong, beautiful and bold woman
Perfection is something am not for the word itself does not exist in my dictionary
My scars show the rough edges of life l have endured
Am a woman
I receive  punches, slaps and insults
I am someone's punching bag
However l go around with a smile in my face and my head held high
I am a Survivor
I am a woman l lose things even when am careful not to lose them
I lose babies but l still try hoping one day l will have them
For l am a Survivor
I carry all the load, all the pain and the hurt but l dont stumber
I might cry, l might fall but that doesn't mean am weak
I am what l am but do not underestimate me because am a woman
I've been through all the bad phases of life but l've never relapsed because l am a Survivor

And I want to bare all
but everything’s diluted to me
The words in her pages are
sad but carefree
and I don’t know why it cannot
be that way for me...

I admit to myself I want women,
And I want her world to stop giving me ideas about mine.
And I soak in her story like a glass of fine wine.
I want girls, but this
is not where I can be.
This life as I am is not discarded easily.
title from the novel by emily n danforth

Don't worry

Nobody practises what you preach

Want to control your

Monkey mind?

Don't feed thoughts

to it.

Strangulate it with

Silence!
