| BINTA IBRAHIM 16 year old multiple rape victim with an unidentified child she rescued. |
To the 214 rescued pregnant
girls so-called “Terrorist’ Concubines.”
Warning to the Reader: Here
there be Foul Language.
It's not my fault that I am the way that
I am.
So don't judge me if you ain't been up the
shit creek I had to paddle.
My sister, I ain't reserve no respect for
none of ya'll that don't understand
I suggest you stand back and watch me
wriggle thru the eye of this needle.
It's not my fault that I seek solace in
your embrace;
That I look up and out and into your face
dying for a touch of grace.
Just that your stigma keeps trespassing
with the affairs of your mouth.
But I'm here to stay brother, deal with
it or haul it down south.
It's not my fault misery selected me over
you.
If I did bust that joint has it not
crossed your mind ama thrive on your attitude?
When ya'll was all wrapped up in the
warmth of fam., I was stolen and abused
You just like them to downtalk but I
stand strong and refuse to be reduced.
It's not my fault that those mad dogs
threw themselves at me;
So how come ya'll hating on me like I was
some colossal freak?
Ya'll should be throwing a party, celebrating
the fact that I'm free.
But I am not your expectation and I will
survive and bring some style into it.
It's not my fault that I am the way that
I am.
It's not my fault that I seek solace in
your embrace.
It's not my fault that misery selected me
over your brass
So am I asking too much cause I expect
some respect for my pain?
