Mystery

Mystery!!!
 I have been dreaming all my life 
Within a flash, i am awake 
As it all becomes reality
I have to speak
I have to be heard
Am tired of being voiceless 
As i can hear it whispering,its my time 
The chance to make an impact 
And tell the story as horrible as it seems
I guess it mite not be a history
But may become faith,hope and justice for others
I have been beaten a thousand times
I have been hurt a million times,
I have been cheated and condemned by many due to my negligence
And now i want to be free from all shackles,from all chains
From all boundaries ,from all deceits
Hear my cry out loud because am screaming from within
I have become a mad woman even as composed as i seem
The journey so far has been all about pain and agony of a mother
An innocence of brutality and revenge is my take
because bitterness is all inside
Stop strangling me,stop humiliating me 
like the diary of a mad black woman 
I know my worth even when i lost it again and again
Respect is all i crave for from this day 
And justice is what i deserve and pray at the moment
Mystery indeed ,you lost me forever!!!
