TALES OF A GIRL CHILD

She said

"Do you know why I wear my scars around my face like a mask?

No, you don't and you don't care to know because I am a girl.

The one who loses everything from my home to a name.

The one whose actions are misunderstood as an ardent show of shame.

Yet I am told to keep quiet.

To keep quiet because when I speak up and speak out they say it's disrespect.

See this respect you seek, you are not born into it;

You strive to earn and when you earn, you learn to keep.

But no; my views don't matter.

For I am a girl child.

The Daughter you despise,

Despite my numerous achievement;

You don't just see me through this scars.

It's okay; little wonder our Earth revolves around the Son(Sun) not the Daughter.

No worries; I would dust it off and like the Phoenix, Rise"

So when next we see that feminist?

Just know, that was one daughter we pushed out of society.
