I'm a egg.
Sperm X fuses ova X
XX forms a fetus.
Gradually I am scanned for my sex
Tablets dissolves me before I develop till my apex
Unfortunately, if I'm born,
My parents regret, blaming their fortune, to mourn.
They can't tackle the mishap
As they snatch me from my mother's lap.
I die suffocating in ground or a trash cap.
Even if I survive these barriers
I'm a curse of bankruptcy carriers.

I'm a girl.
Growing up wasn't easy
Doing household chores I was busy
Clothes covered my body from head to toe
As I serve my services to ousiders in a row.
Surrounded in these four walls
I look at the ceiling standing tall.
My childhood wiped stray away
Swiped my tantrums ray.
Feelings were plunged
Seeing my brothers playing
My heart shouts his desires to join their play.
Boiling in hot kitchen I prepare them food,
Roaming in sun gathering the wood,
Getting up early in the morning to fill water,
Is it all my destiny as a daughter?

I'm a teen girl.
Dreaming dreams was forbidden,
My aspirations, goals were hidden.
Shooted in head when tried to go school
Deprived education clouds my 'rights' tool.
Beauty was our priority
Attire stares our inferiority
Marrying a unknown person
Demands my society being worsen
Defecating in open scared me
In case someone films me.
Puberty bleeds me through vagina
Impurity contaminates my body
Painful stomach aches jolts me off
Blood ozzes all day out
I ask my mother about the disease I have caught
She hastily gives me a jute rag to keep in btw my legs to rot
Sobbing eyes burns my spirit
Waging a war inside out of limit.

I'm a mature girl.
Brooming my mind
To accept my controlled life as kind.
Blindfolded path leads to market
Perverts pass dirty jokes in bracket
Laughs haunts me everyday,
As I remember the way.
Footsteps hurry up
To safely reach home .
One day I was traveling in a bus with my brother late, around remaining hours for morning
Giggling talks with my sibling sobered the empty bus silence
Not knowing it was attached with violence.
Bus slowed down to fetch few hungry men
Whistling, looking at me they invited my brother's anger
My heart came out when suddenly
I see a large knife through my brother's back
Scream was suppressed in one man's hands.
As they slap me on my cheeks,
I started kicking my legs
Giving them chance to hold them up.
Five of them explored my body
Clothes were tore to see myself naked
My mouth was stuffed with my torn sleeves
One by one each fulfilled their lust
Filling me with painful groans.
Grabbed my hair, pulling till door
Throwing me on a untrodden road.

I'm a rape victim.
I woke up in a hospital
Collecting the pieces of the fatal injustice
My mother hugged me as I cry in her arms
Unremovable stain I'm now
Sympathy knocked at my doors
As I push them aside from my rape publicity
Realisation strucks me of the crime I committed
Travelling in night is my fault
Freezed from the unfolding pages
Suicide was my first step to take
Which took a turn while I was awake.

I'm not a terrorist or loser.
Walking to my college
I was stranded by them, those dirty men.
Faces printed in my mind thrawted my guts
As I run to save my life again.
I fumbled and fell down,
As one approached to help me
She was a diacot in disguise
Took out a glass bottle
Poured on face to popple
My face melted to the burning acid
I was shouting in pain
But no-one helped me
Instead recorded my screams.
I passed away from unbearable pain
My breaths were still running
As I reach the same hospital
I woke up next day.

I'm a acid attack survivor.
My whole face was bandaged
Literally the burning sensation
Roared my voice
Buckets of ice cold water washed my damaged face
I still remain unconscious for days
I didn't have my eyes
I didn't have my bony nose
My cheeks showed my jaw
My mother ran away from me
My father couldn't recognise that I was his blood
Mirrors were removed from my house
I can't see my face
But I looked in the window's reflection
I was a person to scare
People ran away from me.
I couldn't stand up.
So I fell.
I jumped from the 9th floor of the hospital.
While falling
In air
It felt heaven
I prayed to God
Don't make woman.
People hovered around the dead body.
As I see my criminals roaming freely
From heaven.
RIP AFISA
