Broken Wings..


With no fear of tomorrow
I stepped out everyday to face the world
Running through the fields
Swimming across the river
I enjoyed the breeze of freedom
No one stopped me from dreaming high
And my people stood by me to reach those tides

I always look out for the day to surprise me
as I believed that every day is not the same.
In my world surprises meant only happiness & joy
But I was killed by the reality
The day which turned off all the things for me
Surprised me for the first time with fear of life & hope

I was pulled and crushed to pieces
By the demons in human form
They peeled every bit of me
And left me to soak in the bed of blood
They drilled through every inch of my flesh
And still were not satisfied
With all brutal thoughts
They cut through me and pierced an iron rod
In the hands of these insane
I howled and cried in pain

With my eyes shutting down
And my nerves sinking
I struggled with every bit of my last energy
With wounds all over the edge
I was thrown on road as a piece of meat
I lie on road as a dead body
Seeing & sensing every seconds of life
I die every minute uncovered
The realm & city which was close to my heart
and the people whom I felt were mine
left me to die in pain on the roads

No one came to rescue
and I so wished there was atleast one Krishna out there
to get me draped & covered
I shed my last tear, on not losing life
But for the lost hope on people
I embrace death, but have left behind
MY BROKEN WINGS…

I had written this long time back when the Nirbhaya incident happened. It was very disturbing and yes, she has left her broken wings to revoke the courage, hope & faith in people to fight back against all the bad deeds against women in this society. We don't have to fight for equality of women, we just have to fight to change the evilness residing in every individual..
