My Gender Is a Turbo

I walk down the streets of  my kasi with a face of fear.
My mind, soul and body are full of scars 
Beyond my imagination I see no reason to live.
Pains has become part of me, that I do not feel it anymore 
What have I done wrong to my fellow gender!?
My cry doesn't cross your heart,
Nor hit your conscience.
Have you forgotten  that I am a being too
I am a hunted human.
I am a women after all.

My Brother

I am sorry I failed you 
I am sorry I couldn't be there for you 
you tried to alert everyone 
but we were all singing the same tune 
you are a man, man up
not knowing we are killing you 

I am deep down inside 
I wish the hands of time could allow me 
we were all thinking you are craving attention 
and all you needed was an ear 
little advise that could have saved you 
I am sorry I couldn't be a true sister 

My apologies for breaking siblings code 
I failed you, I failed myself 
Brother, return and save yourself 
I know you are in darkness 
give a your hand to pull you 
I choose to be your inner part 
its not too late for me to understand
its not late for the society to know you matter too
