The Cry Of A Girl Child
Not all lessons are taught by anybody
Some are taught by teachers
Teachers specialized in their sphere
Others are taught by experience
It be the best teacher
Parents are teachers experienced
Not all subjects can they teach.
Never did I know I carried a sweet
Nobody told me a sweet can bear too.
Yet a hard way I learned.
My body reacted to nature
My behind swelled somehow
Two melons appeared on my chest
They turned to be my tormentors.
Shoulders turned at my pass
I heard whistles!
Confussion erupted all round.
Some felt to touch me
Was I A doll or puppy?
It is the brushing on me I detested
I started seeing the monthly visitor
Yet somebody taught me a lesson
My sweet wasn't only for the loo
He taught me pleasure!
He taught me childbirth.
How I wish it was not this man.
He taught me my monthly visitor can abscond.
I was in the family way.
With non but my granddad!
I wept!
Girls beware
You have a candy
Nobody wants to eat
To spoil is their intend
Once in the family way
You will be discarded like used tissue
Beware of relatives
Not all treat you like a child and relative.
I wept
