Toxic Marrige

By Varun Arora

At times we cease to exist,

In simple hope of being loved, respected and kissed...

Hoping to start a new life as it was a special gift,

Putting everything we valued once at risk....

Marriage at times steals our dreams,

Filling our life with nothing but tears and silent screams...

When they try to be control freak,

Trying to control our every action and every word we think or speak...

With day and night numerous adjustments to make,

At times life starts getting tiring smiling just for others sake...

Trying our best to avoid marital fights and drama,

Living every moment in fear and trauma....

Lack of support can really break,

When people around us are selfish and fake...

When people around us don't understand,

For us they are not ready to take a stand...

When rudely they just shout and criticize,

Even without our fault, always expecting us to apologize...

Everyday when we have to lose our dignity and self-respect,

To pacify someone's ego who think they are perfect...

With their ego super big,

Thinking of others as swine and pigs...

When they feel they own us like something from the market they bought,

Treating us worse than a pet dog...

Yelling and venting out on us all their frustration of the day,

Making us cry and feel shitty everyday in every possible way...

Expecting us to forget the ones who gave us birth,

While on other hand treating us as low life and mere dirt....

Our life gets at stake,

When marriage seems like our life's biggest mistake...

Coping up with a pissed short tempered freak sadist,

At times to escape suicide seems hard to resist...

After losing all our wishes, dreams, respect and peace,

Living like a lifeless piece of meat...

With a shattered heart and a torn soul,

Emotionally damaged and raped on a whole ....

A living Nightmare,

Which todays society choose to ignore and doesn't care ...
