This describes how children especially teenage girls in the middle east getting raped, beaten and sold to another man and cycled all over again. These women and girls have no rights and are basically imprisoned by a man from they were born til they die. The drawing is a brick wall with graffiti stating “stop the violence now!” And under this wall is a pair of eyes of a girl behind a old dungeon cell.

The perspective of a woman

I was promised a good life

To be a good wife

I would be treated nicely

But now my skin hurts so bad it feels icy

I can't go outside by myself

When my husbands gone I sit here like a book on a shelf

I just want to escape this world

My husband is married to to so many other girls

I don't think it's fair

That I just have to sit here and stare

If I say something he like hey man that's not cool

He just will beat me like a fool. 12

The perspective of a man

I do what I want

When I want to

The American talk about there wife's

But man I've got two

Ok Maybe three or four

Yeah I'm like the male version of a whore

Now one of my daughter is about to get married

To some guy named Larry

I picked out myself

He's all about the wealth

He has so much money it's not funny

He also has like four honeys

He has so much money it's crazy

Can definitely tell he isn't lazy

He has like 12 kids

And you can bet The there all his. 16

The perspective of a woman who is has escaped

He stripped away my self-worth layer by layer

until there was nothing left of my personality

Yet I forgot about the girl I used to be

She lived inside my caged soul

waiting for the day I would set here free

Casting her light into my dark mind hoping that I would see

Flashes of a glimpse of possibility

I was never alone because she believed in me.

I knew myself not yesterday

But I know myself today

I love who I am inside of me

And there's a lot I need to say

I will never let another person bring me to my knees

Because I have chosen to grow and fly to find my destiny

I smile a different smile today

Then I have smiled in the past

Today it is a heartfelt smile

One I know will last

I will know longer have to hide

From what I want to be

Because I don't want to wear a disguise

And the me you see is me.
