I remember you... when you have no choice, no voice, no rights, no existence when you have no laughs, no joy, no freedom, no resistance your pain, your agony, your silence, your loneliness your anger, your frustration, your cries, your unhappiness I remember you... when you are abused, attacked, beaten and veiled when you are tortured, strangled, choked and almost killed you feel numbness, nothingness, lifelessness and tears your are a shadow, a ghost, a creature with many fears I remember you... when you in the darkness, stillness of a star-less night lift your arms to the sky, with sadness and fright and ask the universe with eyes full of tears and pain why all these crimes? for what reason? can anyone explain? I remember you... when you finally will rise and stand on your feet! and say " No! I will not stand for anymore defeat!" you will break the chains, burn the veil and destroy the walls! you will scream with all your might "Damn you all!" I remember you... when you take the solemn oath that you will struggle, resist and fight that you will gain your freedom with all your might that you will never give up, no matter how heavy the cost never again will you be confused, pitiful and lost I remember you... when you gain your rights, reach your goals and hope(s) but the path is hard, full of obstacles, you must learn how to cope to cope while struggling for your ultimate goal a-reborn woman, free, independent and whole by Dr. Zieba Shorish-Shamley |
