I try so hard to not let the scars of that night shatter me
When morning dawns and I am conscience
The day has hope
I pretend all is good
I work harder than before to keep my shattered mind from further breaking
I try not to think, I try to stay calm
Thou every inch of me is shaking within
The smile is there to greet, the friendly gesture, the engagement to upskill
And yet still the panic lies in me
He warned me I will find you at a practice
He promised me insanity
He threatened me he will harm me
I carry this burden silently
Pretending his words and action are meaningless
But believe when night arrives the fear is real
I relive that night over and over
Sleep has become an even more forgotten friend
Its unacceptable that any person must live under the conditions of constant fear, worry & stress that her life is in danger. Not being able to have a night of sound sleep is detrimental to both physical & mental health. The authorities need to act now to stop this stalker from further harming the victim.

Together we can make a difference. So sad that law abiding citizens become victims of senseless crimes and a broken Judicial system. One should always ask : what if it was my daughter, mother, sister...

This madness has to stop. We live in an abnormal society that prefers to look the other way when this GBV occurs. I salute n support every victim of GBV around the world

Action needs to be taken immediate to save our women and children.
The perpetrators are literally getting away with murder!

In this day and age how does this happen. You are a victim and then when you speak out, not only are you not taken seriously but you feel like another victim.
