Killer In You

By Kanmani.M

Step 1

Step 2

And step 3

She takes

Looking for once

Left and right

She proceeds

Hoping to escape that day

From the preying eyes…

The preying eyes

With nerves of glint

Waiting intentionally to mock her

Tease her

And make sure to do the best!

The eyes keep following her

Too close

Few in the far end of the lane

Preying…

Holding her gaze,

The footsteps march out

Crowding around her…

The mouths playing the tongue right

Utters every known annoying word…

Calling her names

Casting disgusting look on her body.

She faces the ground

Attacked

Shamed

Bullied

The tears wet her toes

Washing it clean

Yet the tongues keep composing

The song of offense…

The judgements suffocate her

Dizzy, she feels thus.

Yep, the mouths

The preying eyes

Tear up her life

Questioning her existence everyday…

Beautiful heart of hers

Broken down

Yet not okay with cursing back

Keeps forgiving them

Keeps blaming herself

For the existence…

The image of herself

Eats her up every passing day

Leaving only a little behind – the body…

But not for long…

The image of her

The broken sharp shard within

Tears up her flesh…

She bleeds,

Bleeds…

The red becomes her skin

Drenching the hurt feelings

Putting an end to her body

To her heart

And to herself…

Meanwhile feeding enough

The mouths

And the preying eyes

As a token of applause!
