Thought for life #3

Women’s day

You were yelled at all the time
There will always be a reason for their rage.
Have a good look around and analyze
They are always there to show you “your place”.


They have witnessed your suffering
Your agonizing screams, your burnt face.
And then accused your clothes
your confidence, and your “modern” ways.


From taking birth to giving one – everything is controlled.
Your mere existence on this earth, sucks even more…
When for a larger part of your life,
you were made to believe you were untouchable and impure.


Even if you did something wrong
Know that you were never worth the hate.
They shouldn’t have caged you to pay the price
Your freedom is not for them to calculate.


“How dare you share the things I did to you”
“How dare you disclose the things I said”
Just like this they prove they are guilty
Don’t be afraid to raise your voice fearing they will get mad.


Recognize when them leading the way becomes
a sign of dominance in the name of care.
Learn to see what’s in front of you
Excuses for them will only push you towards despair.


Wishing you today they will be there in the crowd
They will roam fearless; they don’t need a mask.
Please do yourself a favor and don’t give them another chance
To be treated like a human, is sometimes too much to ask.


I am often told “Things that doesn’t happen to you
shouldn’t be your concern”.
I guess that’s the reason why victims remain traumatized
while culprit never suffers.


It’s painful to see your wounds
I guess physically you were not that strong.
But the child in you is still kind
I guess that’s the one thing where you can never go wrong.


Keep moving and have faith in yourself
It’s the most beautiful thing you can find.
A space that no one can invade
Your hopeful heart and your peace of mind.

She

When you see in her eyes, you won’t see the stars,
You’ll see remnants of beautiful smiles, lost in the war.
You’ll see speckles of dust and lots of rain,
You cannot count the times she has survived that moment of pain.
You’ll see what it’s like to sail through the storm,
And still be as calm as a river, living a life miserable & forlorn.
You’ll see tarnished moon inside, struggling to keep afloat,
I was able to survive because of the words that she once wrote.


She is the epitome of beauty, strength and courage,
It’s a pity she was chosen to be the victim of this outrage.
She taught me to think, she taught me to try,
She helped me to free the me trapped inside.
Everything I am, everything I have, she is the one I owe it to,
And when the times got hard, she was there to affirm that we would get through.

You don’t understand the love she has for everyone – it is so rare,
If she decide to take a stand, she can be your worst nightmare.
