How dare you

How dare you say
I'm not strong 
Do you even know
What strong means
I picked myself up 
You weren't there for me 
I wiped my own tears
No one was there for me
How easily you said those words 
When each day I'm reminding me 
I'm strong. 
How dare you 
Build insecurities in my mind .
I am scared 
But I'm still standing strong 
I overthinked every possibility 
But I'm still not giving up. 
I'm broken 
But I know I'll overcome it. 
But you just said
You are not strong enough.
Simply five words 
Straight to my heart 
But my bleeding heart 
Still not giving up.

Elder sister

She handled it all,fiercely 
She stood as support, strongly 
The iron pillar, 
Shielding them from unfamiliar. 
Handling responsibilities 
Kicking off the insecurities.
Marking her territory 
Making mistakes 
Teaching lessons bravely. 
Many roles she played 
Second mother she was called. 
Being parent to parents 
Being breadwinner in many.
Sacrifices she made
For being son to many.
Yet she took it all
Fought the fall
Bounced back again and again.
She's the first born 
The Elder sister 
No appreciation, but
Still took it all on her shoulder.

Curse

I curse you
You, who developed fear in me
You, who made me hate men
That man
Who touched me 
When I was just a little girl 
Trying to be strong. 
That man
Whose evil eyes 
Made me wear loose clothes. 
That man
Whose touch 
Made me so self conscious .
I wish 
God gives you worst punishment 
I wish 
Your wife, your daughter 
Never feel it.
Still years ago
I'm not able to forget.
I pray 
Every rape victim dies
Don't let them live
To suffer forever. 
I curse you 
For making me cry.

I am she

Hey me
What should we do now
They see me
They know somehow 
I am she.
I haven't seen what's outside 
But they don't want me beside.
They are going 
To put end to little me
What's the difference 
If I am he or she.
Don't do this 
I begged 
Please don't kill me
I cried
I'll behave outside 
I promised. 
But the one above has other plans
I wasn't meant to die
Maybe I was meant to fly
Stronger in the womb
End of the doom.
They tried and failed 
I survived and succeed 
Whether he or she
Both bundle of happiness 
Both will win
Just your one step
You won't be next.
I am she 
But I'm stronger and free
I know they love me
Because I am she.

I'm sorry

I'm sorry 
I must have said something 
That hurt you few years ago. 
I apologize 
How I jokingly but intentionally 
Made you doubt you.
I should feel sorry 
If that wasn't your day 
But I didn't cared about your feelings. 
I'm sorry 
If I didn't choose you 
When you were sure I would. 
I'm sorry 
If you felt I ignored you. 
List of apologies 
I wanted to hear
But
I am sorry first
I may have hurt someone too.

Indian lady

I think 
Sacrifice should be women's first name.
No matter 
Where you stand 
People respect you for bowing down.
"Wow, this is called indian lady."
It's not something she want  to hear.
Compromise 
Or you are selfish 
Ungrateful 
Disrespectful 
Bad.
I know there's a change 
But that woman in a village 
Handling this with a smile 
You are a girl
You have to do it.
When will it change? 
My father, even mother
Never slapped me.
So how would I allow 
When a man, I should respect 
Doesn't even hesitate to imprint his hand.
Who will save me from someone 
Who's supposed to save me.
Whenever I think 
We are evolving past our stereotypes 
Society makes me want to hate every men.
Victims aren't supposed to change 
Dear men, it's you who need to change. 
I will be proud of you 
For making me feel safe.
It doesn't mean 
You have to bow down 
In the world of equality 
Respect someone's self respect.

Brutality

I haven't even processed 
And There came another .
once again buried 
Innocent's story of brutality. 
My worries doesn't stand a chance 
For what they went through 
Places full of joyous chants
Their voices ignored as deafening silence. 
He saved one woman 
But who came to save them?
Made me question 
Our existence as human. 
Igniting the dread with every news
New one replace as previous flew.
Fearing for their daughters 
They reduced their time out 
But didn't warned their boys.
Brave of them to out working 
Wary of each monster but not showing. 
And these amazing people 
Started blaming her dresses 
When will we be free of this fear?
When will the victim will be victim 
Remember, 
You watched You sinned.

My Tigress

" I will make my girl strong "
"She will be tigress, not princess "
"No one will stare at her "
"Break that bone, that touched you"
She will shout. 
We are failing as a society. 
How much of fear we developed in her
That she has sacrifice her gentleness 
That she has to be so conscious 
The future her daughter lives in.
Don't be blind 
Don't be a neglect 
Acknowledge that pain
That pain behind Braveness 
That tears behind determination 
Open your eyes
Otherwise,
One day she will be your worst enemy 
Bring that change 
Because,
That loss of tenderness 
Will bring doom 
Everything will end.

Lost

These past years 
                  I have progressively lost
                        My inner child 
                             People 
                              Trust
                         Friendships
                             Battles
                             Myself.
                                But 
                           I learned, 
                 To make myself valuable 
                       Not available 
                   Stand up and fight 
                  Struggling chapters 
                       Are beautiful. 
                         Patience 
                        Is the key.
                  You've to discover 
                    Your right times
                         Be smart
                  You've matchbox 
               To light your Lantern 
                          Believe 
                      You are late
                But it's not the end
                  He's is with you
               He's preparing you
                For bigger battles
           God gives hardest work 
                To their favorites.
