It is loving from the shadows…

Don’t show your feelings unless you will be labelled a slut!

It’s being in pain and smiling …

Never show your feelings unless you will be trampled upon

Then you wonder why she is so heartless?

Why is she not affectionate?

Even with her kids, she shows so much love, but not a single emotion

And when they are grown, they wonder where all the love has gone!

Na love you go chop?

A question they always ask when you say ‘he’ doesn’t love me …anymore!

E dey provide for you?

Another question to shut you up and keep you in a sad marriage!

When will we wake up and be the women we were created to be?

When will we say NO MORE …I AM WHO I AM MEANT TO BE!

To seek sympathy without care and cry…I AM BARREN, HELP ME!

To seek alternatives without wondering what our moms or friends will say.

Speak out without worries

Show love without fear

Walk away from abuse without care

Taking into account our mental health and not the culture’s

There is so much we can do if only…

We can breathe, and be!
