Story of patience

Princess Osariemen Aihie

Days passed

weeks passed

Months passed

years passed

yet I had not seen ;

hmm;

the red moon

the pride of a woman 

worried, confused 

scared to tell my ;

innocent aunty

tell her what?

that I was pregnant 

Who gave me the child?

her husband 

raping me at night

loving the pleasure 

always smiling 

evil smile 

while I was in pain

now the nemesis

 

She found out ;

yes she found out 

he admitted it 

shocked right?

yes he did 

because the wife;

did what?

denied him pleasure 

pleasure of what?

pleasure of the bed

so he used me ;

as what ?

a tool

now look;

a fifteen years 

pregnant girl 

they forced me out;

out of the house

because of a sin;

I did not want to commit

it was a murder;

because I was becoming a mother

Looking helpless on the street

but later found the shelter

gave birth;

named him Peace

because he brought him peace;

yes peace I say

i found my peace;

outside a home of abuse

discovered a talent;

of creativity and patience 

of self care and tender heart

I forgive them

tell peace a story;

when he grows older

Hmm a painful story indeed

Kudos to the single mothers out there

Love you all

 

From a mess to a message 

From a test to a testimony 
A story of love;

care and patience
