I Am She

I am 'SHE'. The form of Goddess 'Durga' & 'Laxmi', I used to be. But where the hell I'm today? Where in the search of my own identity, I have to pay. In this patriarchy, my soul has been killed & body has been groped. Each & every step outside has become exploit for me. Eyes scanning my body, & indecent remarks for me everywhere,I use to hear and see. I am languishing here, living with low spirits & fed up of my bug-bear. Of being raped & abducted, I always have the fear. I'm anguished in this milieu, sighing and sheding tears in the corner of my room. My regular nightmarish experiences made me to cry over my doom. More than chilly & pepper sprays, propriety in society will help me. And I'm waiting for that pleasant day when safety will go hand in hand with 'SHE'..
