THE ACT.
It left me scattered,
My hopes; shattered
My bones; battered


In a world where no one cares
Saddled with a burden too heavy for me to bear
Screamed so loud my agony, yet the closest person didn't hear


Not my fault I was still little but so ripe
Anguished heart of year, no comfort to wipe
Tick tock! Watched the men smoking pipe


Innocent little me, with a clean heart
No knowledge of the poison on the shot dart
In just seconds, I was whisked away on a fast moving cart


Woke up and I was already on the ground
2 each, No! 3 each!! Argued another, they were probably debating on how many rounds
I couldn't run because to some pegs buried in the ground; I was fastened, that I found


Dark was their faces, covered with iniquity
I pleaded; Sir please, I want to go home back to my family
Shut up, You fool! Shouted one who pounced on me with brutality...


I felt life leave me with each drop of blood
Strong kicks, hits of stick; O God! My haemoglobin now floods
Now, my will to fight was broken with rods



My legs were torn distance apart each other even the ballerina dancers can't attempt
Fear conquered my soul because all I sensed was the worst, without contempt
They said; You're very young and seductive, you tempt(us)



They were 5 men, far stood another
Let's have her for a day or two, maybe another
One by one, they defiled me one after the other



Broke my hymen with the force of a rocket thrusting into the Galaxy
With every shout in plea, I was paid with a deafening slap as Salary
For a moment, my brain paused, rebooted and all I could see was digits of 1 and 0 of binary
At this moment, I remembered how Daddy came back home and he said;
For Six months, my company have been owing me, I've been paid
We were all happy, with Mum dancing but on the Couch I laid


Take this! Dad told me; Go get something at the Supermarket down the street
Get Groceries and for your little siblings; get them sweet on the stick
Lollipop! I promptly corrected him. He said Ok but be fast, you better sprint


On my way, I didn't notice the demons lurking
But I observed, they were side-talking
Didn't pay much attention as I continued walking


Here I am now, with no ounce of strength left in me
So broken and battered, swollen face and eyes I couldn't even see
Ruin is my future, what shall become of me? Who will I be?


After 3 hours of continuous torment and horror by 6 men, I knew I only felt my heart beat but didn't feel my legs
They all left one at a time and the last loosened me from the pegs
I forgot everything I ever knew in life except the last alphabet; letter Zed


Don't remember how I came out, but I woke up in a hospital bed
I'd never be the same even if I'm Spirit led
Lost every sense of humanity, now they just call me "VICTIM WEIRD"
