Hey guys! This is my poem that l wrote to display the hardships and atrocities that "illegitimate" children suffer in the African society.It is also to show how single mothers and their children -especially the girl child- are treated in the society. It is to appeal to the community to protect such children and not to judge them,because we do not know what transpired for them to be in those situations.Let us love and treat one another the same way we want to be treated !💜

I KEEP IT TO MYSELF

I am afraid to walk with my head held high,
I am afraid to release my voice confined so I sigh
I am unapparent where ever I am known.
Their disgusted and terrifying eyes is all I have ever known.

“She is an illegitimate child dear do not associate yourself with her
Lest her misfortunes cascade down to you.
She is a carrier of bad luck,you do not want everyone to deny you like her father did
Pretend like she never exists,and make sure to inform when you get into contact,
With her so we perform a cleansing ceremony”
I hear a mother warning her child against me,when she sees me passing

Loneliness has become my adjacent visitor
I have no one I can call my own,
Well my mother is barely in reality,she is always trapped in her planet of sorrow,and regret.
Regrets I do not understand,
Are they for my existence or for trusting the wrong man.
I decided to keep all my sorrows to myself,
I heard my mother is my only relative,her family disowned her.

I am sixteen yet there is nothing sweet about it.
Old men with gray hair and big tummies,
Old enough to be my grandparents hiss and do catcalls on me,
When they call me I get terrified and runaway
And they shout “stop pretending to be innocent,you are just like your mother!”
Married women taunt me when they see their husbands being nice to me,
They see a family wrecker,yet l do not tell this to anyone.

A woman is not fragile. A woman is not vulnerable. A Woman is not Stupid. Though the World tries to depict them as such,Its like that saying "ignore fools to avoid noise" and that notion which says "once you argue with a mad man you become mad".That is what we do,We pretend to be such because we do not want to be like such.Dare make a Woman feel like that then you will see that yourself you are such

Supremacy starts from within and is exposed from the outside.One needs conviction from the inside that he/she is supreme and important. How can u define yourself as Woman Supreme when you do not believe in yourself

When a man is found committing adultery at times on the act.We women forgive them. In fact Women are expected to forgive and continue being loyal wives. But be suspected for having an extra marital affair when you are a woman and within seconds you are labelled a harlot or a whore.and within hours you are chased away from your home and your marriage ends in an instance.It is not just for Women it is time for us to show the word that we are not as fragile and vulnerable as the world depicts us.Not leaving our husbands for their infidelity does not mean we are desperate for marriage but it means that we know the meaning of the vows we do on our wedding days. We do not pledge them for the occasion to go on but for life s a married couple succeed

Why is that Women are always the ones to succumb to the societal expectations.
