Anisha Giri
I am a thirteen years old girl, and I know I am not sad about the life I am living. I am going to a friend’s house to complete my homework. I am hoping to be back on time, and eat whatever my mom has made for me, and share my activities of the day to my father.
But, life will not always give you what you have asked for, and it will not always bring you beautiful gifts. It has the other side that is very dark, which I had to face too early. I have never felt so weak and so strong at the same time. I am too weak to resist those men, and I am too strong not to die without facing the reality.
I know the atmosphere is not good. That was the first time I’ve ever felt so worse about myself. It hurts. I cry and there’s a flashback. I remember my parents. I remember the times when I neglected my mom’s small advice, and I suddenly regret at once. I remember my parent’s hard work. I remember my friends. I have no idea if I’m going to make it to another normal day either.
All of a sudden, my innocence turn into anger. I don’t want to be kind to anyone who is around. I put all my effort to keep those hands off of me. I cry for help. And I have no hopes. They try to shut me up. My tears keep on crying for help, but I don’t get any. I’m no more a child with the same attitude I had for my life. I am not even mature enough to know the truth. All I see is darkness.
My life just stops right there without my knowledge. My life has a meaning, but it leaves me before I can figure out what I am made for. The worst part is I am killed when I am struggling to live one last time to see my parents.
I don’t even get the chance to wear my favorite clothes I was always looking forward to. I don’t even get to pass the SEE exam with distinction marks to make my parents and my school proud. I don’t even get the chance to dream about being a doctor, or an engineer, or whatever I am destined for. I don’t even get to be around my parents when I am leaving this cruel world.
I didn’t die, I was killed, but my death is way distant from giving me any justice.
