Let Me Live

i want to fly high
i wish i could be a bird
but i cant do so
because god made me a girl
they say i cant smile
because i am not a boy
i want to ask them .. 
why do they treat me like a toy
they say i am a burden 
and i shouldn't have been born
someday i will prove them 
that all they said was wrong
no, i am not a waste
so don't treat me like a flawed
i can be anything
i am the best creation of god
if you cant protect m so 
then you don't have the right to exploit
because you will feel ashamed
when i will raise my voice
you think i am not brave
you think i can be hurled
but i am not afraid of any pain
if i can make a baby enter this world
so.. let me live
the way i deserve
because i am not a curse
i am a girl.. i am a pearl

Story of My Death

I found that i exist the day
When my mom called dad n smiled in a beautiful way ?
I was feeling like a precious pearl.. 
When d doctor said that i m a girl..
I thought that my mother would be praised
But instead.. she was disgraced
Everyone thought i was a curse
I was unhappy n was feeling disgust.
My existence was then no longer. 
But i handled the pain because i was stronger..
Now... i m killed
It was their mistake, why i m billed?

Force

Force.
Two, 
They are two
Heavy and strong 
On my top.
Their hands covering my mouth
I can't even
Scream, STOP.
Numb,
My body 
Is numb.
Legs,
Shaking.
Shaking because of 
The Unpleasant orgasm.
The abdomen is paining,
I feel the spasm.
I've lost power.
I am defunct.
Enervated.
And, helpless.
Lying, 
One is still, 
On top,
Pushing.
He's heavy and strong.
My eyes, frozen.
I look at the fan,
I feel nothing 
I feel dead, 
Still numb. 
They see me, 
They grab my face,
Violently 
I don't try to steal the gaze. 
I don't move
I don't cry
For
The miseries,
The Woes
I feel nothing
Not even my Palms
My toes
Cigarette
One smokes 
A cigarette.
Burns me,
On my breast.
But, it hurts less.
Less than the 
Burns they 
Are giving me
On my core,
And, My crest.
He's done.
He enjoys his triumph
He takes a knife, 
And cuts my wrists 
It's bleeding,
He again, sucks my tits
Smile, 
He smiles
I can not forget,
that evil curved smile
They left, 
They closed my file. 
My legs, still spread, 
My eyes, widen, in fear.
I touch my face,I Feel no pain,
Death is near. 
Locked,
Locked
are the intended eyes.
Coiled are the hair
And flicks.
Smudged is the mascara
With tears
And, the heart,
Heart is left with
The patches of fear.
The red lipstik,
I was happy to wear,
Has fused with the
Blood on face,
The same lipstik,
Now feels to me,
The biggest disgrace.
Broken.
Broken is something,
Inside me.
but What?
A lady?
A daughter,
Or an innocent soul?
Is it because of 
My human role?
ICU, 
I am lying, 
With a million tubes and syringes
Only a few breathes left, 
And i'll be out of all fringes.
Felony, 
They say it's my felony.
They smash me
With a thousand calumnies. 
They,
The neighbors,
The unknown.
The inhuman souls.
Why couldn't i feel the misogyny?
Coming home at 
Ten in night,
They ask,
Was i out of my mind? 
Was i?
When i didn't run 
When i saw the red blooded eyes.
When i opened the wardrobe 
And chose my Black
Bodycon?
I could have done something 
I could have won.
My eyes, are closing,
I see the dark 
Calling me forever.
I wish i don't get raped
Out there.
I wish there's some humanity left
And there's no one there
Who stares

Heal

Heal 

The story starts 
And I am sitting near the reef. 
Quaint, nominal 
With no grief. 
There you came, 
Silent, like a thief. 
Flabbergasted when you said
That you’ll heal. 
Marking your words
I felt relief. 
Absorbing your empathy 
I felt lithe 
Lifted me up
When I had a broken heel
Refurbish my conscience, 
But, it was a short term deal. 
Filled with hostility was
Your Nadir, your zenith 
Construe like a contusion 
Is my skin, I feel. 
You didn’t cure 
You didn’t heal 
You hindered the wounds 
Hidden in my soul beneath 
The story ends 
When you leave 
I became furtive and 
You, the secret I conceal. 
(Or everything I just revealed) 
~Apoorva.

This Is All I Have

This is all I have
Shredded heart 
Rhapsodic essence 
Grimace on the face 
Cacophony in the ears 
This is all I have 
Lost talisman 
Waiting for a serendipitous 
Ineffable rumination 
With an ephemeral existence 
This is all I have 
Mellifluous sound 
Turned to screeching noise 
Crystalline entity 
Pirouetted to a crepuscular subsistence 
This is all I have

My Story

there are some things in my fate,
that cannot ever be changed!
there are some mistakes,
that my excuses can never explain!
when i see a shine in dawn,
i try to figure out what does it mean
its just like a vision,
never saw some thing so clean!
there are some moments, 
that will never happen again!
there are some reasons, 
for which i always feel ashamed!
I have been thinking about them, 
from a long n long time!
Not even relaxed for a while,
With my eyes open wide!
There are some decisions,
of mine that went in vain!
there are some obstacles,
due to which on me it rains!
This is the story of my life,
I told u all!
my sleepless nights,
my ups n falls!! ?
