The Scars. Amera Ziganii Rao
Men are programmed to want women without vocation. It's what they call a wife.
Actually, with all that we know now, that one line says it all.
It was only two years ago, or four and a half years ago, that I was still crippled into 'incapability'. My unconscious demon (past the one where I believed all my father's lies and all their lies - family, society, everyone, that I was nothing and worth nothing) was that I was terrified of not being loved for having brilliance. For being a leader, for being my whole self. Errr, 'nuff said. And I healed it all by myself. In time to face you. I understand now.
As I do my scars. Every single physical illness and deformity I have had and have. The scars of symbolic genital mutilation. For real. I carry them all with pride now. They will go in time. When I am truly loved. When the forefathers are dead. And you are free.
