Wounded by many
Filled with flaws
Yet I try to reach expectations,
Just to hear the applause
Lost myself,
Turning this smile plastic
But they say 'don't stop',
Even if it is toxic
For everyone's satisfaction
The key is to sacrifice
And just ignore how much
This heart cries
Worked so hard
But you want more,
You never find raising these levels
A bore
Yet I have to learn how to shine
The dream to become
The "Perfect" Kind

I want to ask you something
Why am I not valuable according to you?
Why don't I deserve respect like others?
Is it the colour of my skin which hurts your eyes?
Or who I love too unacceptable for you?
Maybe it's the God I have faith in that threatens you.
Or maybe the feminine body I got from birth
Is the money in my pockets measuring my worth?
Or maybe the mirror screaming my looks aren't good enough.
My Mum says "Everyone is priceless." Is it a lie?
I'm a human and so are you.
Isn't it a good reason to be kind?
Aren't my deeds glimpse of what Karma should give me?
Isn't it my heart which really defines me?
Or does it always has to be my exterior?
The one I never chose
To show how much worth am I,
How much i should be served.

As the stars are alive
Let me smile finally again
While the moon watches
Don't remind me of the pain.
It is only one night
I want just want to live.
Been broken so much;
I have nothing to give.
Once the Sun comes back
You can **** me as you want.
This soul will be yours again
As you attack and haunt.
But this moment
I want to hear my laughter.
Just live in the now
Not before or after.

Nightmares during the moon,visions during the day
Everything seems different, yet so familiar
It neither feels wrong, nor right
I can feel a presence, someone is around me
Oh I saw her, she came into my dreams
She seemed sad, but told secrets happily
But those sparkling eyes got stuck in my mind
Is this my imagination? Am i going crazy?
Yet my heart says its all real
She has known me for long, but i can't remember her
I can feel her everywhere, but i feel safe
Found a letter in my study, it was from her
It had a story I had never known
But it was her identity which shook my heart
It was my mother, someone gone since my birth
It left me crying longer i had ever known
She left me again to live without her
Her presence is gone, so is her dreams
Had she come to tell me the truth or fulfill her thirst to meet me?

"You are so sweet; anyone would fall for you", They said.
"But not forever", the broken heart whispered...

Not all smiles are real,
Some have screams behind it.
Not all promises are true,
Some have lies behind it.
Happy faces and loud laughs
Rich in money but poor in heart.
The world is not as it seems;
It has its secrets in the dark.
Everyone has an iron curtain,
Where they hide the tears and cries.
The lies touch our ears,
While truth looks into the eyes.
Afterall, the world is a mirage;
Where all the secrets easily camouflage.

Silenced lips,
Loud eyes.
All the "leave me alone"s,
And "I'm fine"s.
It was her smile which made them blind.
She was about to die,
The demon was in her mind.
They don't know when,
They don't know how.
The pain, the heartbreak,
How badly she had to bow.
It is all gone,
But the past taunts.
The future, the unpredictable,
Haunts.

She never dreamt of making her husband happy, but her father proud.
She never dreamt of sitting in a small house, but travelling the world around.
She never dreamt of covering her face under a veil, but show it.
She never dreamt of doubting her potential, but prove it.
She never dreamt of building a family, but a legacy.
She never dreamt of being someone’s property, but fantasy.
She never dreamt of being judged, but respected.
She never dreamt of being left out, but supported.
She had dreams and ideologies to change the world, but the society forced her to cut her wings.
Her ambitions were hurled, because they forgot she was a human being.
