Rape

Rape, a four letter word in dictionary,

For politicians, it's a topic of debate

For media, it's a few days' trp game

For us, the so called civilised society,

It's a time to do candle march and show some sympathy

And for that ferrocious lout, it's just a matter of lust.

Wait, wait..

What about the victim who was screaming in agony that scary night

Has anyone of us ever imagined or sensed the trauma faced by that unlucky girl

Whose not only clothes were torn out

rather her body was covered with blood

And bitter pieces of memories were also pierced in her soul for lifetime.

She was Papa's little princess and family's pride

For her, the life was full of beauty and thrive.

She being an ambitious, cheerful and a notorious girl living in her own imaginary world just wanted to fly high

Without knowing the fact that one dreadful night her wings will be cut down.

Her happiness will get replaced with regrets and sorrows

Her dreams to reach the pinnacle of success will get shattered

And she won't be able to identify her trueself.

The mirror that made her beautiful will no longer be her best companion

But will frighten her by seeing her visible/ invisible wounds.

Now she will no longer be known for her chirpy nature and endless talks

But she'll be silent forever.

And her innocent tears which were earlier treated like elegant pearls

Will turn into rain drops to put out the burning fire inside her.

But....have anyone of us ever thought to fill the voids and emptiness in her heart?

And will it ever be possible?

Will she ever be able to forget that fetid smell or remove patches of those filthy hands from her cracked and aching bones?

Will she ever be able to survive keeping so many freaking secrets deep inside?

Will she ever be able to paint her black canvas like life with beautiful colours?

And Will she ever be able to trust & love?

 

I don't know ..

But please dear society,

Be more sentimental rather than judgmental

And try to realise

What it feels to be used your body by someone ignoring, scratching and wounding the soul inside.
