Usman Nyallay, Grade 11
UWCEA Arusha Campus

​She is  beautiful, young and naïve 
She knows not how to leave 
All she does is believe 
All she needs is to be loved 
All she wants is to be received 
But her innocence you have stolen
Her pride and dignity you have taken 
Her trust you have broken 
And all of it you see as a token 
Her unhappy, lonely and extinctic side you have awoken
She screams but no one to her rescue 
She pleads but no mercy she is shown 
All she can do is lie helplessly and hope 
Hopes of which none will come to reality 
And now she thinks if this is what she deserves 
Your urge and ego you have satisfied 
Left in pain and agony 
As her eyes rain washing her dreams away 
With all the injuries on her innocent body
She goes out to the world, thinking of how to end it all 
Telling her story to people they say is its untrue
Left in turmoil, depression then shows its unruly face 
And now she is left to drown in her own dilemma
She soars and mourns in pain
An experience that will forever taunt her 
Even though she tries to forget 
A side of her mind always triggers the sad memory 
She is unable to continue 
And she decides to put a stop to her pain.
