"words can break someone into a million pieces, but they can also put them back together." :) taylor swift


Unwillingly she wakes, a little after dawn
Even after four years have passed by, she still fears the city’s violent storms
Scared in her insides that yet again someday
She’ll meet the same fate as on that rainy day.


And still she walks out of the house and makes her way
Even while the others shout angrily,“what a shame!”
She be’s just as strong as she had been on that day, everyday
And even today she walks down the same dirty lane.


Even though every part of her craves to die,
She still faces the world with a broad smile.
All this because in her heart she knows, out their it’s a brutal world
And that she’s not the first or last to have faced those terrors….


There have been many before her and their will be many after,
As long as men like them live, innocents will always loose their laughter.
And even after knowing this and wanting to make a change
She is kept quiet, fearing the men’s rage.


She wants to shout and scream and show everyone how much it hurts
But the worlds deaf to her problems
And so, she is finally made to accept that she was born in a world, dominated by man
And in all of that-her only crime was being born a woman….

this poem was written, after a certain incident that took place in delhi-india. It shocked, hurt, and mentally broke not just me but soo many other women's hearts that i just had to write something about it, let the people know and in a way express my thoughts on everything that happened.
