What Should I Do? Poem by MNSRAlyssa Bii

When I was ten, I got married
Not by a man that I loved, but by a man full of greed
I was so heartbroken when I saw my parents celebrating
I was crying so much that my eyes began to sting
I wanted to go out and play just like the other children
But now I'm stuck here, forced to wear an apron
I wanted to go out and have an education
Instead, I have to please my husband with bacon
I miss hanging out with my friends
I wanted to play with them in the weekends
Every night I would cry to myself
For I was afraid to get beaten if I refused to dust the bookshelf
I never asked for this fate
I wanted to do something great
But now I'm stuck here
Forced to live a life in fear
I just want to escape this living hell
I always hated this dreadful smell
But if I manage to do so, what would happen to me afterwards
I don't have any money that would buy me some records
What if my husband catches me?
He would definitely beat me up very badly
But if I stay here
I would always be the one who sheds a tear
