They won't kill you
Sriyaashii 2023 (India)
tangled thoughts inside your head
heavy breathing on your chest
tendered lips teasing each other
eyes looking for someone
anklets singing with the rhythm of
your fickle leg,
what's bothering you sweetheart ?
Afraid of...! What?
Aah!! don't worry they won't kill you,
they'll just cut your wings, break your bones, tape your mouth and blindfolded you
and then......
you will hear a command,
Fly......but in the water
Fight..... against your heart
Speak.....only for us
Find........the cheapest one.
About this poem
This poem is about how we have to fight every single day just to survive, how the society treat us how they want all of us to be perfect in a same way and we never get a chance to explore the world actually. I'm a pretty new writer and new to English writing. So reviews really help me a lot.
