Nor A Feminist Neither An Activist
Nor A Feminist Neither An Activist
I opened my eyes
Saw this beautiful world
But didn't say a word
Yes, a little girl though took birth
But she's treated as curse
Those finger touching my body
Do they find me gaudy?
Yes those boys out there
Trying to help me
But found to be the player
My waist is only mine
Not your rope
Or glass of wine
My butts are not meant to burst
My throat is not filled with thrust
My voice is not meant to moan
My eyes are not society's clown
Yet I don't utter a word
Not even an advice on my physical world
Yes I'm fat
Still they find my skin
Made for their grin
Though I'm compared with thinner things
A brown girl transgresses her own blinks
My colour doesn't match with the environment
Yes, again that's my fault to be different
Yes I'm a brown girl
With typical Indian looks
Oh I don't apply makeup.
You still want to hook?
Speed of my steps are decided by those ticking hands
Length of my clothes depends upon the Lane's sand
A fatty body they don't want to look up
But they go and tell about the suck
Am I safe being a girl
Or is it my fault that I believe in swirl
I'm told to be quiet
Though I've right to speak
They hold my hand so tight
My veins are pressed for their needs
They keep their eyes on me
Are they seeing through my clothes or looking at my face cream
In this world of unrealistic joys
Now as I speak
My tongue deploys
But their thinking leaks
Can they be more realistic
Can they be more practical
Can they teach their sons to control
Not girls but the way their mind and eyes rolls
