calabash - iquo dianaabasi lyrics

this smashed calabash will yet
store water, once her cracks
are aligned, soldered in the
hearth of patience
your cracks are but war marks
unique totems of survival in
this mission to learn self
a shero, you defied storms and billowed

ignorance and cruelty may connive
to steal your prepuce, the snip
may leave you in tatters much
longer than your screams carry
still… gird those loins
the greater war will be fought within
this cracked pot must mend
for self and to gather water again
‘you’ll never amount to anything,’ they said
‘no one will believe you, lower your head in shame,’
‘a girl must not dare to dream big dreams,’ others said
a gradual erosion of self*belief, they broke you
they fear your dreams, those whose shame it will be
to watch you soar. and soar you must!

against your will your body was violated
toy for the satisfaction of greedy l*sts
a p*wn in an uneven power game
yet, you are more than your upheavals
your greatest jewels lie untapped
you will yet shine bright when you
discover the mines within
beauty beyond body
grace un*rape*able

when love turns tool of torment
when hands that once* caressed
become weapons, and lines
of pain and pleasure blur
arise
your cracks are but war marks
unique totems of survival in this fight to love self
