With- Out Fear
A poem by Zahra Abdihagi Mahamed
Stemming from the depths of agony and despair There is a story we collectively share Feel our pain through the cracks of my voice And listen to the stories we fear to unfold
Behind the walls of anxiety
I have decreased all movements.
Into the midst of dawn I disappear as
the wrath of excessive trust
takes over my soul.
Behind the
walls of anxiety
Parts of me that were once private and sacred have now been exposed. Deep in the cyber world trapped by the chains of fear 
My eyes witness unpleasant sights and suddenly I am scared to put up a fight.
I feel alone in this part of the world.
But together as one, we can come and do what’s right
We can redefine the status of women online
As they are more precious than diamonds and pearls combined
Raising generations and building foundations
We deserve to be honored and respected
So hear us loud and hear us clear when we say
All we want is a life without fear. A simple stress-free life without fear
