Village I was from birth to bloom

‘reason, my brother took me to the city too soon

My innocence was obvious for all to see,

So also my ignorance ‘cos there was nothing back home

compared to this

He had my interest at heart

He had struggled to make something for himself

To prove that, on him you would see signs of stress

O had I known what I know now

Not by experience but if someone could have told me somehow

I never knew every man could not be my brother

Who was so selfless even if he had to suffer

It was his Landlord

Showering me with gifts

and foolish me wanting more

My new neighbour had gisted me of his philanderous behaviour

I just thought her as jealous and a bore

Not too long, he started to slap my arse

sometimes when I walked to his side

I thought it rude and at the same time was I confused

The rest is history

I took in, the obvious symptoms was vomiting

Now I’m to the place of my birth

I do not know if I will have a second chance after the birth of this child

I hurt because of my brother heart I broke

I hurt because I was do gullible that

I had to learn the hard way and now knowing the risks I put my way

I hurt because I had altered my course

just because of an ignorant choice
