Rain on me,
I have been longing to be free.
Lost in my world, needlessly.

Rain on me,
I am tired of fighting but I will not sleep.
I refuse to be reigned and I refuse to be a sheep.

Rain on me
and show me the way.
This place is empty and I cannot stay.

Rain on me
because it has been too long.
I am sick and tired of pretending to be strong.

Rain on me,
I want to see the lightning pierce the sky.
As the thunder roars and the clouds fly.

Rain on me.
Let the winds take my mind to another land.
No one needs to know and no one needs to understand.

Thank you
Three different ways to say things three different cultures
But we are all the same
We live our lives
Work hard
Take care of our families
Doesn't matter what Laungages we speak as long as we all understand the same laungage "HUMAN"

Today the clouds cried.
They turned grey
And slowly their tears made their way to the land below.
The thunder rolling is their sobs.
Oh I would love to know why the clouds cried today.
Why their thundering sobs echoed through the land.
Why their faces turned grey
Why their tears flooded the land.
Oh I would love to know why the clouds cried today.
Today the clouds cried.
Today the clouds sobbed.
Today the clouds wept .
And it was the most heartbreaking sight.

Freud says tattoos
Are
The Manifestation
Of a
Trauma

Every point
A
Separate pain
We
Have
Suffered

It took
Two
And a
Half
Hours

To complete
The
Diary
Of my
Trauma

And half a million perforations

To convert
Those
Memories
Into something

New

And

Beautiful

To finally
Let go
Of the past
He said it might not work,
I hoped it would.
He said it will take time,
I hoped that in time, I would heal.
He said it might only just ease my pain,
I hoped, it would be enough to let me survive.
He said I might feel weaker than ever,
I only just hoped it would be enough to make me want to live another day.
I hoped.
Hope, it was the greatest side effect of the pills.
There are lots of things about medication for mental illnesses that the doctors conveniently forget to mention.
That moment when you were all over me;
Your brutal hands tore my garment into pieces of rags.
The perfume I wore evaporated,
And I did smell like your ****** sweat.

Those filthy parts of your body;
Touched me here and there.
I wailed for help but nobody cared!
Instead chose howl, whistle and watch the fun.

Once you quenched your thirst,
You left me on the coarse ground like a ***** linen.
My body grieved with sorrow for those pieces of glass
You threw, pierced me each second.

Now when I stand here in this Court of Law;
Only as a witness and not worthy enough to be called a victim!
They ask me awful questions-
“Do you remember his face?”

Oh! That dreadful face how can I even forget?
But my mouth was shut, it chose silence.
While my eyes narrated the entire nightmare!
For the ears assembled resisted to listen.

Reluctantly after a pause I whispered,
“Yes, I failed to see his face, that ***** face”
Giggles echoed in the room and traveled to my ears,
But only your laughter rang in my ears.

I turned my eyes towards the Law Goddess,
By the power of your money she was blind folded.
And in imparting justice to thousands of her daughters she failed.
She even didn’t bother to utter the words of condolence, ashamed.

As I walked up to my seat, your ugly face flashed through my eyes.
I ignored the flashbacks and convinced myself;
No woman becomes impure if bitten by a mad dog!
While those faces that were having fun then, celebrated your victory.

With a hysterical smile and a ray of hope;
I set out on my new journey, a way towards success.
With the confidence that I would achieve it,
My eyes did glare with a strange kind of sparkle.

In all my nightmares your harsh face followed me,
The face that craved for ****** pleasure and spoilt my dreams.
And today I stand boldly in the court, to answer the unanswered question
“Do you even remember his face?”

You may silence me but the air will still know
My voice, even gagged, has shaken the air
With my ideas, I have displaced all the particles around us and it will show
Every breath you take, you inhale my thoughts but you do not care
You do not seethe as you are unaware of my feelings towards you
But I? I am rife with conflict as I destroy myself to appease you

My lungs wither inside my chest
But you breathe deeper still
My pulse races without rest
Much like my mind which will
Forever pulse with ideas you will not like
Every push of blood and breath within me
Is a glimpse of my psyche
And it is there, you will find the disrupted waters of body’s sea

Deep, dark
An eternity and a half
Self-hatred swims through my sea like a shark
Though I cannot breathe or move, I laugh
Tranquillity of displaced hatred fills my veins
As I wish to be more like you
As I wish to be nothing like you

I liken myself to a weather vane
Battered every which way because I can understand why
I can understand why you should hate me; why you would hate me
I can’t help but wonder what it would be like
To tell you
To tell you that I hate you
But I will not allow you to have such wretched influence over me
I will sink into my own sea
And it will not be out of despair
I will allow the waters of change to bathe me
But rather out of a prayer
In which the deep, dark waters of the sea
Will show me the light
And to the surface, I will return, drowned and a fright

Dearest companion in my most darkened thoughts
When I look within myself and wonder if I am worthless
It is your voice which can see all sorts
Of reasons as to why I ought to be left mirthless
For I am a silly, little girl
Stupidity and idiocy
With no wisdom imbued in even the tiniest pearl
I am less than swine
Whenever I give you the time
And let you fill my mind

I don’t know much
But you know more than I could ever
And with searing, reeking breath that I will show you how I am clever
There is something that you do not know much
You do not know of me and my intelligence
Which you use the metre sticks of mathematics and beyond
But I know the elements
Of myself and to your taunts, I shall respond

I liken myself to a weather vane
Battered every which way because I can understand why
I can understand why you should hate me; why you would hate me
I can’t help but wonder what it would be like
To tell you
To tell you that I hate you
But I will not allow you to have such wretched influence over me
I will sink into my own sea
And will not be out of despair
I will allow the waters of change to bathe me
But rather out of a prayer
In which the deep, dark waters of the sea
Will show me the light
And to the surface I will return, drowned and a fright

You killed a part of me; all of me
However, from that lifeless body I did resurrect
And now my ghost will take its business elsewhere
A lost soul without any good value that anyone could see
Anyone but me for you have me wrecked
And I shall be the goddess who answers my own prayer
And you shall be the enemy that I slay
And with your blood on my hands, I will weigh
My own worth
Against the mirth
You ripped from my heart
When you took me apart
Piece by piece
I will find my new peace

Now it is your voice which shakes the air
Now it is you who disturbs the particles
But I am unaffected because the despair that is your lair
Is not the home I keep; not anymore
