Poem

I am coming back for you.
Oh violence – you sound is like a roaring lion, a roaring lion in my ears.
Oh violence I don’t know why you chose me, but deep down I know,
That you took advantage of me.
Because I was young and had no one to turn to.

My tears were real; I was in pain with no shoulder to lean on,
Oh violence how kind you were to me – you offered me a shoulder to lean on.
Of loneliness, desperation for Love-I couldn’t feel how cold your shoulder was. I was you and needed someone to advice me-someone to give me courage.
But Oh! Violence – you availed yourself and told me that I have proved my capability.

My self esteem, self respect and self Love, I asked how to do all this, then you gave me more fear, anger and a mask to put on.
Oh! Violence you made me feel dull, empty and dead.
You made me believe that the lose of personal power can only be found again through force.

Oh! Violence, I don’t mean to be loud and harsh – this might hurt you.
But listen all that you said to me-all that you told me and made me believe were lies and nothing but lies.
I know!!! I know!!!

I am unique, I am special, I am Loved and needed by others,
Kindly note……
I’m being prepared and trained to silence you Oh! Violence.
I am coming to expose you-I will bring you down in four days to come.
