Loss of Faith
Oh God! Please forgive me.
I blamed you for my fate.
None knows.
I was so scared.
But then, nothing is unknown to you.
You know how many sleepless nights I spent.
Shedding tears throughout the night.
Dreaded disease has taken shelter in me.
I was afraid.
Beauty of a girl will become dreadful.
Doctor said it should be amputated.
I refused to meet him.
How I would face him?
With onslaught of the doctor’s scissor,
I would no longer be attractive.
I blamed you, to take away my pride as a woman.
I misjudged you.
This morning when he took my hand
and whispered love does not see the outer beauty.
I am accepted to him in whatever form I am.
And then the attending physician suddenly entered my cabin
congratulating me as the biopsy report indicated
that the growth is not malignant.
I would be released today.
I cried loudly to wash out my anxieties, my fear.
He held me in his arms, till I sobbed.
Oh God! Please forgive me for loss of faith in you for a while.
