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.
