Poem- Miss Epar
That day he called with a smile Into his secret room. Room as dark as night. There my innocence was robbed With a drugged cup of wine A sip tore my garments, There you pushed yourself into me. I lay half asleep, helpless. My mama was home cooking, Waiting for the salt to boil her rice. You went back to watch your TV. I laid there half awake, helpless. I have met Miss Epar, And my soul's light is dimmed. I have been wronged yet you Force me into hiding. Society looks upon me like I don't belong. I can't look my friends in the eye. I dread their pity, I fear their judgement. Tell me without words That I will be fine. Tell me in silence That I will heal one day. Please! Amu Mawutoh 30th April, 2016.
