Days, months and years

The times flying like the wind

And I became the woman I wanted to be

A full grown princess in my father’s house

Mother talked about a man

She said I will be a Queen in his house

I agreed soon enough and my problems agreed sooner

My parents were no longer allowed to see me

The neighbors heard sounds of talking drums from my body

I couldn’t leave the house

I was an unseen slave

I bled and cried daily

For this wasn’t the life I hoped for

After conceiving a football team

I’m pregnant again, pregnant with pains 

Like an injured zebra

I am filled with stripes of beating everywhere

I’m just thirty but I am an old slave

My parents unknowingly sold me off into slavery

Never to gain independence

From the hands of a maniacal King

Queen? I am a slave Queen

Drenched in regrets and pain and tears

Always regretting

That I was ever born a woman

Onashile Blessing Joy (OBJ)

*** So I am super excited right now! My junior sister who is just sixteen wrote this poem and I just couldn't stop gushing over it. well i did a little bit of editing but it was entirely her idea, her works and mostly words too.

 I am glad that her eyes are open to the issues women face and that she can connect to them and make a case for them. However, she is not going to be a lawyer like me, my baby is in love with medicine and humanitarian care.

please show this poem some love by your upvotes and comments and resteems!!

@eloquentsam · Sep 26 '17 (edited)

Wooow! A sixteen year old girl wrote this? This is a sadonic and exasperating poem of how  cruel and inhuman some men can be but at thesame time i would ask that you make sure your little sister joins steemit community. She is an amazing writer and steemit is desperately in need of people like her! Leave her career out of it just bring her in. Resteeming and upvoting this one.
