Muted

From the "you are fat, you are short" comments,

From the "you are black, you are not stylish" evaluations,

From the "you can't do that" suggestions,

I muted myself.

From the negative self-talk,

From the self-abusing cycles,

From the so-called friends who said

"You should treat every other woman as object", 

I muted myself.

From the toxic relationships,

From the dominating peers,

From the persons who say "Zindagi Aisa hi chalta hai",

I muted myself.

From fake love,

From the self-loathing desires,

From the ignorant people,

I muted myself.

From the negative people,

From the endless nonsense discussions,

From the fake smiles,

I muted myself.

I muted because I understood no one changes for your comfort,

I found I have to work on myself to be independent and successful,

I found I can do it better when I am alone,

I found I am like a lone wolf.
