A cry in the void
My eyes wept every night
My heart throbbed every second
My lungs felt like exploding in pain
My pillows strangled my wails.
No one cared for my pain
My Years of waiting,
Counted useless and worthless
By the useless and worthless society.
They saw the people around
But not a burning heart
They cared what the people say
But not my side of life.
When I needed a shoulder
I saw only fingers pointing at me
When I strayed for empathy
I heard only tongues cursing me.
I wished to be heard
But I was totally ignored
I cried to be felt
But I was alone in my agony.
They went on imposing customs
When I was begging for my love.
They said you reached your glacier
But they never saw my thirst.
Their glacier was like sewage
Which never quenches my thirst.
Now I feel like a pile of flesh
With an empty heart wailing for love.
I cried till my tears died out.
The pain savoured me
There was no one by my side
But then my blood spoke up.
He pointed fingers at them
But they called him crazy
They did the same at me, as well
They called me unstable.
They tried to give medicines
As they thought I was mad
When the only medicine I need
Was a hand of love.
I told "Women can never be free"
They argued what's wrong with me.
Haven't we given you enough of it
Oh! Enough is never the whole.
I told" I'm not ready for it"
That's not even an excuse
You are old enough to be ready
And we don't really care.
They pitied my thoughts
Rebuked my insights.
Even when they saw corpes around
They believed theirs won't be one.
I said "I feel numb,
I don't feel any thing
I felt like staring
Into lifeless images"
Shopping for man in matrimonials,
Like keeping the better in wishlists
And saving for later
And Never wish to buy any.
Body shaming to the ultimate
Big and small, rich and poor
Fat and slim and fair and dark
Being criticised for doing no wrong.
I've no job and no money
I want to be settled for once.
If love comes knocking by
I'd think about tieing the knot.
Words are just alphabets
For ears numb to wails.
They boil us in a cooker
Till we explode in the pressure.
