A Poem from Komguem Rosalie
Titled: Unspoken Words
Unspoken Words
In streets where shadows dance and play,
Words cut deep, a silent sway,
Girls walk tall, with hearts aflame,
As whispers sting, and shame's to claim.
Their smiles hide the pain they bear,
As strangers' words leave scars so rare,
They feel unsafe, belittled, and small,
Blaming themselves, losing it all.
Their minds a maze of anxious thoughts,
As whispers echo, long after the words are caught.
The weight of words, a heavy heart,
A soul that's weary, torn apart.
But who can hear their silent cry?
Who can see the tears they try to dry?
Their voices muffled, their hearts on fire,
As they suffer, their souls aspire.
Yet, there's power in every voice,
A chance to rise, to make a choice,
To speak up, to say no, to stand tall,
To report the words that make them fall.
But healing's possible, a journey to take,
With support and love, they'll rise above the ache.
Let's break the chains that bind their might,
Let's stand with them, and hold them tight.
Let's create a world where mental health matters,
Where words uplift, and love scatters.
Let's create a world where they can thrive,
Where words heal, and respect survives.
So let's listen, let's hear their plight,
Let's stand together, day and night,
For every girl, for every voice,
Let's create a world where they rejoice.
