Life's so bad, It should now end. But what happens if life ends? Lying in the grave? Being forgotten by all? But, is there any other way out? No. I get beaten up mercilessly. Which makes me cry hysterically. I am hated, So cruelly abused, Both mentally and physically. It didn't happen all of a sudden, That I realized I am just a burden. After all, I am a girl, not a boy. I could never enjoy anything, The beauty of nature, The chattering of birds, The smell of flowers… honey-suckle. Nothing. Who would believe in me? After all, it sounds so unrealistic and filmy. Life's really bad, I want it to end. [ Dedicated to South-Asian girls who face gender discrimination] « return. |
