Member Poem

I was not asked whether I liked him or not
I had to like him anyway and that's what my mother taught
My father's legacy was more worth than my self esteem
I was not given an option and was told to abandon my dreams
My parents taught me not to talk to a stranger yet they married me to one
I wish I could also take my own decisions and had been treated like a son
On my first night he didn't even ask me and started to touch wherever he wanted to
I asked him to give me sometime but he was like an animal and I didn't have a clue
Tears rolled down my eyes but there was nothing that I could do after all
I was raped but then he was legalized by the society to do it and I had nobody to call
It happened every night and I felt like a prisoner in his room
Sometimes I wished I had never been born at all and killed in the womb
