THE SILENT CRIES OF THE TEEN I

Adanna,
The girl of the family,
The daughter her father looks up to pursue his legacy,
Adanna,
The light-skinned slim girl,
Who everyone admires her physique,
She is prime,
Her voice flows melodiously when she speaks,
The birds can't contend with her melody,
Adanna,
She is the girl parents boasts about to their children,
The girl everyone guy wants to marry
But Adanna feels lonely and weak
Because Papa wants Adanna to live his life;
To be the queen of the land
Adanna wants to pursue a course in medicine
To help the kwashiokor-stricken children,
The heavily pregnant women
And hypertensive men
To transform her community
Papa,
The man who shelters her
And provides for her,
Disapproves,
Mama too,
Her once best friend,
The one who feeds her,
And gives her excess soup to lick,
Isn't supporting,
Will Adanna uphold to her decision or behold to her parents?
