Love Your Body
The taller you grow , the critical they become ;
The shorter you are , fiercer are the glances they blow ;
Oh girl ! It is uncontrollable by you though ....
They shame your body , off to the gym you go ;
Recommend fairness creams to make your skin glow ;
Oh girl ! You are more than that though ...
You are beautiful, the skin is yours ;
Love your body , you have the right to do so ;
Oh girl! Their words are futile though...
-
and to seek any truth,
in my verses, my dear,
is to look for
needle in a haystack
-
Like a weary warrior,
I traverse this realm
Of bleak madness;
Yet, like a hopeful wanderer,
I dare to pursue
My most futile desires.
For, how else may I vindicate
My stalwart decision
To roam this world
Alone?-
I've been screaming
Into the crowd
Over the blaring
Speakers of doubt
Amplifying each word
Each sound
But none of it
Even counts
If all I say is
STOP
-
You did not pluck it, that tempting bloom-
vibrant hope amidst the gloom.
You thought if you did not
kill it, it would save the guilt
of its inevitable rot,
of its impending wilt.-
Enclosed in these five lines,
Fateful ennui of sleeping words,
Blessed are the ignorant lot,
Drama and intrigue of life,
Trapped in just a box.-
While they argued
She smiled at the futility
Because ever since she saw through
The fickleness of words
She resigned from the mayhem
And resolved to tranquillity.
