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
No-one to guide
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.
