A Girl Alone

The date is 16th,

Thinking about that night scares me,

That brutal night always shakes me.

It's a cold December night,

With the moon shining bright,

Cold and harsh air can be sensed,

It's a feeling of uneasiness at first sight,

It could be because I am a girl,

An ALONE girl. Yeah, that's the problem right?

It's still a long way to go,

I am walking on an empty road,

My heart is palpitating,

It's a bit scary and haunting.

I think I saw someone's shadow,

I started walking rapidly through the meadow,

Suddenly I heard a noise, I started running

I am haunted by wild thoughts coming to mind,

With tears in eyes, I gathered some courage to look back.

A sight of relief that was,

What it was a mere illusion,

It was a cat searching for her dinner in a trash container.

It was a moment of a laugh,

I don't know why such frightening thoughts came,

But if I had born as a boy,

Would I have gone through such mental agony,

The question is not about gender,

But an issue to ponder.

The irony is that I am born in a country where Devis are worshipped,

The other side is of women's hardships.

I want to fly to another place,

That is safe and warm,

So that I will never face the situation of being frown.....
