Mum and Dad
I have endured
The way you mistreat me
You debar me
To go to school
And you Say
You will be a wife of a certain man

For me it is a plea and grievance
I want to go back to school
You broke my rights on education
You debase my future
Education is a key to success.

Now frail and fragile l have become
No linger l can carry on those atrocities
Because you demolish my future don’t delay me
If it’s my right
To go back to school
I want to remove ignorance
Because it’s like demise
I want to proceed my education.
