THE CRY OF A GIRL (EARLY MARRIAGE RUINED MY LIFE)

“OH MOTHER! OH DAD! OH BROTHER! OH UNCLE!

I NEVER KNEW I WAS LOST

I NEVER KNEW I WAS WALKING BLINDLY

I NEVER KNEW I WAS IN A WRONG WAY

OH MOTHER! OH DAD! OH BROTHER! OH UNCLE!

WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME IN THIS WAY OF LIFE?

WHY DIDN’T YOU SHOW ME THE RIGHT PATH?

WHY DIDN’T YOU GIVE THE KNOWLEDGE I DESERVED?

WHY DIDN’T YOU TEACH ME GOOD MORALS?

LOOK AT ME NOW; I AM JUST 15, WITH A 2 YEARS OLD KID AND A BABY IN MY WOMB

WHERE ARE MY GOALS?

WHERE ARE MY DREAMS?

WHERE IS THIS LIFE LEADING ME?

OH DEAR PARENTS! LOOK AFTER US, TEACH US YOUR CHILDREN GOOD MORALS, SHOW US THE RIGHT WAY TO GO, LET US GROW UP IN A RESPONSIBLE MANNER.

NO MATTER HOW NAUGHTY WE MAY BE, STAND BY OUR SIDE, DO EVERYTHNG YOU CAN DO TO BRING OUT THE VERY BEST IN US.

I CRIED OUT TO YOU, YOU NEVER HEARD MY CRY, LOOK AT ME NOW, MY LIFE IS RUINED.

SOMEONE OUT THERE IS CRYING FOR YOUR GUIDANCE, SOMEONE INVOLVED IN SUBSTANCE ABUSE IS CRYING FOR YOUR HELP, SOMEONE INVOLVED IN DRUNKARDNESS NEEDS YOUR HELP.

DON’T SPOIL OUR FUTURE GENERATIONS, BUILD US RESPONSIBLY.

I CRIED FOR YOUR HELP, YOU NEVER HEARD ME, INSTEAD, YOU LED ME INTO MARRIAGE AS YOUNG I WAS, I LOST ALL MY DREAMS, YOU SHATERED MY FUTURE, YOU LED ME INTO THIS EARLY MARRIAGE WITHOUT CARING ABOUT MY FUTURE, OH WHY? SHOULD I BE COUNTED WRONG FOR PUTTING THE BLAME ON YOU?

OH MOTHER! OH DAD! OH BROTHER! OH UNCLE! RESPECT MY RIGHTS AS A GIRL CHILD; I HAVE GREATER DREAMS TOO, STOP LEADING US INTO EARLY MARRIAGES”. CRIED A GIRL.
