Why?!

By Mimansa

Why?! Why am I never more than this body?!

Why am I presumed a rebel?! Rowdy!

Why can’t they see I too am just a girl?!

With dreams! With hopes!

Not just lustrous curls.

Why are they blind to the kindness in my heart??

Can they not see the horror they start?!

Oh! That pretty face!

That bosom! That bottom!

Never! That generous soul!

Care to heed them?!

Remark me as an object of your lust!

Knock my door with such intentions, if you must!

Why hide your crime with that beautiful smile?!

With care! With love!

Oh! A feeling divine!

Why become my home just to feast your greed?!

Why act to love?!

Oh! That pure deed.

I too am just a girl!

Not sticks and bone!

Then why trick me to believe that you’re my own?!

Answer to this question would never find me,

A world so cruel!

Warm! Will it ever be?!

But, I do hope it was worth murdering my spirit,

I hope you’re happy!

Happy you did it!
