The Monster That Bit Me Poem by Adams Elizabeth Oyarese

I spoke of the monster that bit me
And the world stood against me
How can u be so profane?
Was the question I received
The old women clapped their hands over my head
To express their disgust and disdain
The young men blamed my fairness
And no one could feel my pain
Young maiden have you no shame
To bring disgrace upon my name?
Those were the words of my father
As harsh as a stormy weather

Is this the baby that sucked from me?
Oh what is this foible i have lived to see?
When did I grow a wanton clover?
Were the questions of my mother

I saw the smirk in the monster's face
As he stood with high shoulders in grace
How many more maidens have suffered in silence?
From the fear of the world's rejection?
How many more monsters would walk freely
After taking such lustful bites
How many more maidens awaits the pain
Of this lurking evil beast
O at dusk he was a greedy plucker
And at dawn a holy mam
He has left in me a scar forever
A seductivebroken woman
