THE CAGED WARRIOR
One day my brother came up to me and was saying that he was heading to play. Suddenly when I asked him that if I could accompany him the moment frozed!!! Why not ?? Am I not supposed to kick that ball??? Will it not move when I kick it ?? Won't it be considered as a goal when I kick it?? STOP even I can bare the scratches, I can roar up back no matter how many times I fall. I bleed 3 days in a month, I don't die out of it. But the way I'm treated for being a player shatters me down and makes my heart bleed.
I don't want to be celebrated, I just want some respect. Respect so that I can explore more, Respect so that I can achieve my dreams, Respect so that I can be considered as a normal human being.
My life here is not a BATTLE but, it's a WAR in I am a being THE CAGED WARRIOR. It's a dream of many here to step out and play, but only few does because afterall the society points out and says glibly that being a woman you are not supposed to do like that.
I'm always been addressed as "A WOMAN FOOTBALL PLAYER" but I'm a " I'M A FOOTBALL PLAYER AND NOT A SO CALLED WOMAN FOOTBALL PLAYER". Don't preach this to anyone you, yourself be the change because IF NOT NOW THEN WHEN??
