Punnia Viswan Bhatia Poet Free verse

Redemption

~~Redemption~~

Set me free
From the haunting memories
Set me free
From the taunting thoughts
Set me free 
From the recurring nightmares

Humiliated, beat-up, pelted 
Learning the art of self-reproach
They say I am sinful
They say I am the reason
They say I am wronged
Am I, are you sure?
Someone laughed at me back in the mirror out there!
