At times the serenity of silence
tastes better than the vanity of cacophony

Isolation
With every battle,
comes a scar ;
Deeply rooted in pain ,
driving us insane;
Everything is cured by time ,
and so are you ;
All that is required for your restoration,
is self love followed by determination;
But what about the venom spilled by the society,
doesn't it make isolation the best available opportunity?

-

With the distinguished personalities taking the lead ,
Misogyny is indeed at its peak ;
Oh ! Tell me when did masculinity turn so bleak ?
That it requires - belittling women ,
to prove its lead ....

I was Right there , when they tried to fix a dress code for me ,
But I refused to oblige,
I was Right there, when they forbade me from going out in the dark,
But I refused to listen ,
I was Right there , when they tried to refrain me from voicing my opinions against the men who had cast their dirty eyes upon me ,
But I didn't pay a heed
Because tonight I have decided to Break Free from the Societal restrictions imposed upon me as a Woman.

-

They don't let me speak

Terrified at the smell of truth,
With its essence nearly choking them,
Fearing the extent of its reach -
They don't let me speak !

-

Do you ever have that feeling -
of not being completely well,
Even though you are physically fit ,
do you consider your mental health?

-

Try and not get smitten
by the social media pics -
Full of chivalry and magnificence;
Cause what lies behind -
Is an imperfect life filled with blemishes !

-

Naming the blood

I looked around and saw peculiar creatures -
Grumbling about one another,
Questioning the sanctity of each other's origin ,
Slaughtering the innocent,
Petrifying the planet ......

It was then I realised that they were nothing but -
HUMANS fighting HUMANS
All in the name of religion!
All in the futile process of naming the blood!

-

And on days you feel like giving up
on this cruel world ,
Just try to -
Perceive the love of your family ,
Adore the smiling face of a child ,
Breathe in the beauty of your dreams ,
And soon enough , you will find
your purpose for that day !

-

And every bit of that ever smiling face ,
Bleeds poetry in distress....
