An original poem Written by Chandiru Barbra – Mackay Memorial College Nateete
She was just a girl
With the simplicity
And naivity of childhood
The world too friendly
All faces smiling at her
Never afraid of rising
For shoulders were provided for her
Never afraid of falling
For her dreams seemed too clear
She was just a girl
Whose mother was never open to her
Her face full of innocence
All realities of life seemed a mystery
Her generality admired by all
Some genuine and others lustful
But she was never afraid
Bred and protected by love
Until the day
The day every one laughs
Scared and terrified she cries
Giggling and booing by people
People she once adored
What on earth is wrong?
Her beautiful dress
Stained …
Stained with blood.
“What on earth is wrong?”
Rushing to the bathroom
She not hurt
Yet the blood still flows
All her friends laugh
She screams but does not know why
“Is this so normal?”
Yes it is
Part of growing up
Is learning to solve problems
The mystery revealed
But its too painful.
Stop behaving like it’s too scared
Why laugh.
Is it funny??
Act without hesitation.
Keep your hygiene perfect
So you can have a good health
Because it’s normal
Do not be just a Girl
