My name is Nma
Dad says my future is just like my name
I am 14 and full of hope
Hope that life would be better
Faith that my book would bring us butter
Aiming to get us all out of this gutter
Till the evil sting left my dream shattered
My name is Nma, I am 15
Wondering if my name will mean a thing
Asking why life hits me with pain to my bones
Taking the crown off my home
Leaving me bent Without a note
Our rickety throne will pass for broke
Clueless in murky mire as death deals us blow
My name is Nma I'm still 15
Just like my father he says my name
He reminded me my life could be like my name again
Savvy as a prime dame
Flawless like a China frame
With a smile that matches my brain
And then he swore it
That as my uncle
He pledged to see me attain my goals
He vowed to help me reach the end on his own
Along came rosy and blissful days
Until that morning when night fell like a sword
As he forced himself and pierced my soul
My name is Nma I'm 16
My purity paid the debt to my kinsman
My fault was believing my name was my charm
Smiling at all goodies he offered for school
He said my A1s don't exist without his fortune
He was a collector, my scream only sent the wrong alarm
The world told me agreeing to meet means I chose the harm
My name is Nma, now I'm 25
Private drinks are never welcome
A kind smile or help is a turnoff
Gentlemen seem to me like a felon
A simple date means I say my name
A better choice means to stay away
If you ever wonder what my name is
Sometimes it means men are not welcome
My name is Nma
I am 25 and still finding me
