Stripped Off Poem by Samuel Segun Toluwalase

Stripped Off



I had to run away and hide
Something happened in the middle of the night
They came inside without a sound
Suddenly my life was turning upside down

All I could feel was pain
Strangers came and took my soul away
Like a deadly hurricane
I know my life won't remain the same again

Am hoping for a better life
Praying that nobody's story ends up like mine
All I know is fear
Even those with good intentions disappear


Where do you go when you by yourself
Who comes along when you cry for help
The deed is done
My spirit is broken
Leaving me with questions
My dignity peeled off
My purity stripped off
