My parents have to think twice

To allow me to go out.

While I think thrice, before asking them.

Not only dark night scares me

But now, I fear going out

At board day light.

The news about women violence

I hear them, every day.

Wondering if I will be the next

I curse myself for being a woman

Cause instead of punishing the culprit

The victim is blamed here.

I see humanity cry

Watching a father rape

His own daughter.

While she wrote an hour ago

“My Dad is a superhero

Without any cape.”

Why should I be cautious

About what I wear?

While the minors and even

Elderly are being raped.

Monsters are lurking in the disguise of men

Even hell would be better than this world.

Where can I go?

And where should I hide?

Here, my honor lies

Between my legs

Even when it’s against my will

I will be the one who committed the crime.

When will this end?

I’ve been tired of feeling this way.

And I’ve been tired of running away.

I just want to feel safe

Where this world is a better place.

Where this world is a better place.
