Silence In Matrimony
Silence In Matrimony


Today, I will speak
I will speak because
I kept silent till now.
I lost my honor
and
my pride
And I kept Silent.
For the sake of
your honour
and
your pride
But today, I will speak
Because i realize
that all i lost was
my honour
my pride
my respect
my identity !
That day :
That day you came to my life like a soothing bright morning
And I like the cold breeze embraced you tightly
Because I felt my essence in you.
And you like the aesthetic rainbow of seven mesmerizing colors ,
Bestowed your colors in the clouds of my life
And glittered my life with the bond of matrimony.
Soon ,
Like the disheartening clouds
that
fades the sun
hides the rainbow
And makes it all dark.
You, you showered your darkness upon me
You gagged me ,
ragged me of my tenderness
Even thrashed me
to satisfy your fury
And I ,
I bagged with no emotions
Stood there, silent !
Because all I was taught
that
matrimony
Has the symphony
within it for a life called
" happily ever after" !
In that quest,
Like the moon
which keeps losing its shine
every morning,
I kept allowing you to snatch me
of my shine
my dignity
my esteem
my integrity
my virtues
I kept allowing you
to rob me
from me.
And You ,
You like that burning sun of hot summer days,
Kept burning my soul,
Becoming the master of my body
The sole possessor of me.
You,
you bestowed your wrath,
your rage
your fury
Ruthlessly upon me.
Seeking your pleasure,
your wants
your desires
You robbed me.
And I kept silent.
Because I was taught that matrimony
Has the symphony within it for a life "happily ever after"
Eventually !
Like the clouds fed up of the darkness breaks down to rain.
I broke.
I seek shelter in the arms of law.
The law blamed me
cursed me
preached me
demeaned me.
It sermonized me to perform my duty.
I was partially dead by now
I asked - "Where should I go"?
Law said - "No not here"
"Am I not a person to have the basic rights - Right to live, right on my own body?
You ,
You the sole possessor of me
I ask who made you so?
And you said "matrimony"
Yes! MATRIMONY :
That has a symphony within it to be " slave ever after"
So today,
Today like that thunderstorm tearing the sky apart,
My voice shall tear apart the norms and values of the mass,
For today I will speak
I will speak
Because till now
I KEPT SILENT.
