Why do you devour my sexual rights?
You consuming fire!
Speak to me and I will listen
Your intentions startle me
Why the luring gifts and free marks
Even when I have failed a test?
You preach self-esteem
But sting my privacy
When I peer into you deeper,
Your thoughts are of stench and destruction.
You are a predator; a defiler of minors,
You tear apart my body integrity,
You Judas, when you rape me, you undress my innocence
You make me a mattress
You butcher my privacy
You strip me of my right to confidentiality
When in menstrual periods you harass me,
Are you mad or a remorseless bitch?
I have hated you!
Listen to silent tears and pains that go unveiled
Last night you crashed into me,
I shook hands with abortion.
I have kissed death,
I limped with STIs and AIDS,
The floods of self-rejection sweep me,
I stagger in a pool of mental delusion,
School is now hell, stress and torture my peers
For how, long ill I hold
This umbrella of sexual abuse?
Teacher, hearken to this humble plea
Don’t hurt my feelings
You can be a true parent
Make me a daughter and not laughter,
Be a personal friend
Avail yourself always
Be responsible
Encourage me always
For a good teacher nurtures.
Protection I desire but empowerment reigns supreme
Break the age around me!
Build my knowledge;
Change my attitude,
Perfect my practices and skills
Love to generate discussion
For love is a tablet
When taken in right doses gives birth
To a magnificent behavioural change
There I am a new thinker!
A nice creation of the life our girl child goes through in some schools.No wonder we need teachers like this one to show other teachers that these children have feelings and that the teachers should protect them.Also the girl child needs to open up to teachers who make advances and tell them off.Thank you the World Starts With Me.I will join you when you visit our school in Kaliro.
