Ruqayyah A. Aderibigbe I’m sitting under this tree, where I weave the shackles of my misery into beautiful serenity & the birds of good tidings strum along with colorful melodies, with the soft tone of the wind speaking soothingly to my soul. the leaves wrap me up in a placid embrace & lick up all my worries, and my lips curve first in a long time to a dancing of sweet chuckles from my throat to the naughty whispers of the wind. My head unfolds onto the lap of the tree, and the branches caress my back to a peaceful slumber. Here, I pen my frustrations on the bark of the tree & it washed away with the rain. This is a girl’s second home where her regalia of pain is adorned with about abounding ease.

In a world of frequent pain and unending misery, Ruqayyah invites me to find a home where my regalia of pain is adorned with abounding ease. To write down my frustrations and let the rain wash it away. It is not so easy to do so but neither is it impossible. I think it's time I find my second home, within or without.

"A Girl's Home" is a beautiful piece of writing from a unique feminist voice who speaks from the "shackles of her misery" as a rite of passage in search of healing and as a tool for survival. In simple truth, she nurses the wounds of her identity.

“A Girl's Second Home” is a poem of escape. Escape from ones internal and external demon, into a safe space where the girl can be vulnerable; where the girl can be open to herself and have power over her misery.
