Dear Gus
Lavanya Jain Sep 2019
Dear Gus,

If my cancer is my enemy,
You are my greatest friend.
If my life is a tragic story,
You are it's happy end.

Our world is short and dark,
With not a single bright day,
But with my hand in yours,
Life seems Okay!

Thanks for helping me fight my fears,
Thanks for wiping away my tears,
Thanks for the memories, I can forever embrace,
Thanks for giving me a forever,
within the numbered days

From
Hazel Grace

Oblivion
Lavanya Jain Jun 2020
It was a late midnight
and the radium stars on the ceiling wall were shining bright.
The wheather was pleasant,
the aura was warm.
I was sleeping with Noddy, in my arms.
Then A sudden heaviness in my head
broke my sleep
The pain was growing so steep
That I couldn't get up.
I tried to drub
but Some thing was pulling me in my bed.
I could feel something leak
out of my nose.
It was blood , spurting out
flinging the coze.
Severe nosebleeds,
was a common symptom
of my disease.
But this one was differing,
My nose was blistering.
I knew it cause I've had many before
But this time my throat became sore
And soon i lost all control over my nose,
All I could do was doze.
My mind, I tried to divert,
So I looked for Noddy,
his cap was as red as his shirt.
Then I tried to call for aid
But by now not just my head
also my arms and legs
heftly weighed.
The pain was only growing more,
worse, than ever before.
It was as if the red water was flooding,
Unstoppably my nose was bleeding
Then with a sudden strangeness,
something leashed my lungs
Now I was breathless.
I don't wanna a die, I wanna play with my dolls,
I spoke to the dream catcher ,
That hung on the wall.
I was ailing and weak
my vission was turning bleak.
Soon i was left with none.
All I feared, was oblivion.

Walking through the streets
Lavanya Jain Sep 2019
It was 10:30 p.m.
She was returning home.
She was walking through the streets all alone,
when she felt being stalked by someone unknown.
She tried her best to be brave enough,
she tried her best to stand tough,
she was endeavouring to be bolder,
when she felt someone touching her shoulder.

Now it's 7 in the morning.
News and radios are filled with warnings.
It's 3 days post she was walking through the streets,
And she lies in the ICU, numb and traumatized, counting her heartbeats...

She was ***** and handled brutally...
p.s. All criminals and rapists should be hanged to death for such heinous crimes

Lavanya Jain Jun 2020
And he'd again come running to me
and i would simply embrace
He was hurt by words spoken ruthlessly
Behind his back and on face.
Will this ever stop, his tears want to know
Why is he cursed when it's not his fault,
Don't you realise It's your "god" who made him so.

You think he can't speak and thus can't bring you fame
Only because he has no voice you consider it a shame.
You think he is boring as a friend
I say, when will these judgement end??
You think he can't talk and so you call him disabled
I say he speaks sweetest, but you'de know only when you'de stop putting labels.

I think it's actually good that God made him dumb
Atleast his words, don't hurt anyone...
And it's you who is it at loss, cause you don't care to see..
But you know what, he has me
And I am always there by his side
However hard you try to fight.
I am never leaving him!

I Remember
Lavanya Jain Sep 2019
I remember when I opened my eyes,
for first time in life,
your sun washed face was tensed.
I thought were worried for me
But your sadness didn't make sense.

I remember when I started walking
your shoulders were bent a bit
First, I thought it was for holding me from falling
But it was the burden, wasn't it.

I remember when you sent brother to school,
You asked me to help mom with plates
First, I thought that job was odd
But I should've understood that was my fate.

I remember when I played with my doll
& married her to other,
You also married me off.
First I thought you were playing with me
But you made me of him forever.

I remember when he bruised me
I remember when he abused me
I knew you could hear me from across the walls
Where I wept all day,
I thought you would take me away
& protect me from those blames
But unfortunately you never came.

I remember when I asked for help,
you never even tried.
In fact joy screamed through your silent eyes
The day your little girl died.
p.s.  To the society that has banned female foeticides but has started practicing barbarity against girl child . . .

ACID
Lavanya Jain Jun 2020
A is for his aggression
For the fact i was not in his vicinity
Because I refused to loose
To him my virginity...

C is for the constitution
Who promises me justice
But itself has no power
To stop the injustice...

I is my identity
Which got burnt in one splash
The blueprints of my character
Which are now as black as ash

D stands for my dreams
Which can't stand by itself any long
My dreams and my dignity..
Which proves them wrong...
Incinerated by acid ...

— The End —
