Neha Diwan Poem
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.

Neha Diwan Poem
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.

Neha Diwan Poem
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.

Neha Diwan Poem
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.

Neha Diwan Poem
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.

Neha Diwan Poem
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.

Neha Diwan Poem
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.

Neha Diwan Poem
" 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.

Neha Diwan Poem
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.

Neha Diwan Poem
"Mumma,
Your brother touched me wrong"
She was shocked
She cried
Cut her ties
With her brother.
She listened
It stopped.
A she moved on.
"Mumma,
Your brother touched me wrong"
She assured
"I'll talk to him"
" But don't tell anyone "
"Shh!"
He kept coming
She listened
But it never stopped.
A she still there.
