WHY ME?!
Why are you putting the blame on me?
Is it a crime that I am a female?
No one wants to hear my story
All they believe is story.
They told me not to walk in a dark place
Yet I walk in a broad place
And still was raped
They asked me not to visit male friend
Yes I obeyed
But still was raped right in my own house
They told me not to wear a seductive and exposing clothes
Yes, I obeyed
Hardly will you see my leg from my gown
Yet I was raped.
No where is safe for me anymore
I can't hide in my home
Because right there I was raped
I can't hide in the church
Because it has turned to Den of thieves
I can't walk in an open place
because it is not safe either.
Where can I go?
Who can I trust?
Who will listen to my story and believe me?
Who will tell me that it is not my fault?
Who will stop this criticism on ladies and
Focus on how to curbed rape?
Why ladies?
Why Female?
Why me?
This is an entry to a a poetry contest i am running on my whatsapp group to create awareness for the fight against rape.
