behind the veil

by jaya1358

Draped inside the golden skin                 She carries a mutilated heart within                     With every new soliciting hold                 Her old being gets crippled and sold              Confronting those eyes, giving a lewd leer               Creeps through her infected blood                     Mingled spirit of fury and fear          The fright of surrender pounds her heart      For someone’s pleasure, stings her every part              Bound in the hands of nasty pimps           In the ocean, unfathomable, all her hopes sink             In the bleak corners of the brothel, die         For escape, unceasing yowl, the never ending cry        Inside the four walls, for help no answer she finds                ‘This is your fate’ the echo reminds                No one can empathize her pain           She is just a part of stigma and disdain              Behind the veil, comes out a wail               Who should have the real shame?             For a work, she is been coerced into     Why whole life her ‘name’ has to carry the blame?
