Voice From The Caged

Over a decade

I sat in the corner of a cage

Drenched in fears and sorrow;

You slaughtered my dreams for tomorrow.

Over a decade 

I've been walking with trembling legs;

Fighting memories of the day you tore my pride,

How you mercilessly cracked my legs open and stole my pride.

You stubbed my spirit

You silenced my voice,

I cried stop! Stop! Please! 

Yet your ears of humanity were closed.

Over a decade 

My tears streamed down my cheeks;

Helplessly drenched in your cage,

Afraid you'd end what's left of me should i chose to speak.

But the decade is gone

Am now a newly born;

My inner voice is ready to speak!

I am ready to fight injustice!

The decade of rape,

Sexual abuse

Defilement or child marriages is gone!

It's time to raise, it's time for justice.
