I dare to walk on a hush road…

The rain is raining heavily  I move my legs on the hush road My gaze at the glinted diamond at the bus I feel, i am the only one there I take an extra step
By Susmita Aryal

The rain is raining heavily 


I move my legs on the hush road


My gaze at the glinted diamond at the bus


I feel, i am the only one there


I take an extra step


Because i fear i am a girl only one there


My mind drifts off taking me back


Taking me back to the time


When my mom told not to head out alone


Because she is afraid if i am a girl only one there


But i dared to walk alone


I walked loner thinking strong on my head


I twisted my legs like a runner

As if i am there to play a marathon but


My energy drains thinking that i am a girl only one there


My heart beats weightier and my pace


I doubt, being a only girl, if i am only less


I try to walk upon, rounding up my shawl over my face


I stretched up my pinkish kurta over my chest


I tried not to leave my chest bare or transparent


I tried not to put on the bright red lip gloss 


Because i fear, if i am a girl only there


Walking swiftly on a hush road, is difficulty


And you never know what monster can come your way


You never know where your life will be headed


So, slowly, i take on a swift steps and gazed my eyelids to the ground


And i stopped


I stopped as i saw a giant monster coming to my side


I shifted my lane behind and walked on the road i had never been


Yet, the monster came along my way and caught me


I shifted a bit to the corner, walked like a hell


Yet several things glittered in front of my fiery eyes


To never to see my dreams and family again


I closed off my eyes for a bit 


And saw there was no one 


I saw that it was the only monster 


That was inside my head


And nothing else


So, what if i a girl walking on hush road


With a mid length bare chest 


A glowy bright red lips


Or a tight pinkish pyjama


Dare to walk alone, its not


Because i am just a girl, but i am a race 


I am that race of human that creates 


I am that race of human that builds


I am that race of human that makes history. 


So, i dare to walk alone on a hush road.
