Anyewu
That is who I am
The one who always fall prey.
I was born by a riverside and was never taught how to swim
I had my first education from the one-eyed woman whom was the reason behind my misfortune
Anyewu
I got married to the WRONG man who never stopped calling me a whore
I slept with bruises all over my body every night
Anyewu
I was married off to my first husband as a child I knew not what was right or wrong
I had my first love while I was in my husband\'s house
He would come to our house as A Family Friend but he was a Secret Admirer
I was pushed out of my matrimonial home I wandered around the village stripped off my spike robe
Anyewu
I was nuturing the children of my husband And was called a witch by them
They tossed the bucket I kept in front of my house
\"Witch, blood sucker!\" They spat
Anyewu
I was the most beautiful woman
I was the daughter of the sea And that of the moon Nobody wanted me
I was an outcast in my home
Anyewu
When my philandering husband got old
I was left to cater for him
His concubines left him
I inhaled and cleaned his shit
Anyewu
I was left to cater for my children alone I had no support
I cursed and cursed my abuser
I said I left them to be judged by God
I stayed with my abuser
Cursed and cursed
Not until I took my last breath I heard my children calling me as I drifted away.
Anyewu
I am the unlucky one
The one who always fall prey.
