Do you think i look pretty
Just for your attention?
Sorry but if you threaten me,
My skirt should not be mentioned

We are both human and I
Don't wolf-whistle at your ****;
I have some decency and won't
Catcall as you walk past

Whatever I wear is solely
For me and not for you,
I don't deserve attack or
****, or any kind of abuse

If I want to show my legs,
Then that is just fine
And if I like this dress, your
Assault shouldn't cross my mind

Even if I walked naked,
I wouldn't be asking for it
Besides I was always told:
"If you've got it flaunt it!"

Why should I take steps to
Repel you and protect myself,
When the real question is
Why can't you control yourself?

*© Tara India.
this is a very personal issue to me, I'm sick of women having to consider the likelihood of assault when getting dressed, or going out, or walking home alone, and I'm sick of these assaults then being blamed on the victim.

Man asks questions
Therefore he thinks that he exists

No other animal asks questions
Therefore they do not exist

Existence is the question
That no one has the answer to .

God gave us the ability to ask questions
Let's not question our ability to answer too .

The truth is rarely honest.
I wish
There was no gravity
So people wouldn't get hurt
When there's no one there to catch them

When they fall

Love isn't about deserving each other.

It's about loving each other despite our faults and flaws.

You obviously didn't get that when you left with the stupidest reason.

"You deserve someone better."

I deserve to be loved by someone who is human. Someone who makes mistakes and learns from them. I deserve someone who doesn't walk out just because things aren't going our way.

No, I deserve love.

where boys become men
and men become memories
...freedom's cost
grateful to the men, women, and families who sacrifice so much to make other's lives so much better. Thank you!

The dangers of life,
wait around every corner,
for each unsuspecting victim.

The pains of life,
increase with every day,
a struggle to keep fighting.

The choices of life,
filled with complications,
and heart-breaking repercussions.

The realities of life,
always harsh and cruel,
unable to escape the ugly truth.

The gifts of life,
unknowingly disguised,
accompanied by many lessons.

The treasures of life,
seem to be so few,
retaining that false hope.

The cycle of life,
never set in stone,
endlessly unpredictable.

~~
Once you uttered
And do not be reversed
It remains either in the air or in the disc

Just as

Once the heart when I gave you
The freedom went to exile
Birds are caught in the cage

And the words within the words are lost
As like as your mystic form,
Vanished slowly on the horizon

Some songs roll over your mind
Some words are as deep marker
Still exist, after the departure of

Just as

Even after the train going away
You're standing at the station
But the mind does not want to return

What is the fault
Lost in the wind of memory
Seeking the truth beyond the existence

Was written in order to leave
Ah! What a difficult moment!

Life is the game of light and shadow
Stay away from the dark for some time

As you search twice
For meanings
Cleverly stood
Hid in abstract
Paradoxical format
Ingeniously pushed

Between lines  
Of landscape analogies
Fictitiously portrayed
In anonymous
contagious ideologies

I'm sorry
For your losses
Of time and duress
Yet my incomplete thoughts
Can riddle even the best

Into a landscape
Of wild weeds and laughter
I waste away
In time torn pasture

Where timeless turns
To dusty grey
I push save poem
And slip away...
