Shh! Dear Mirror
Yes they had me beaten,
Ripped my clothes open,
Manhandled, molested
And they raped
Me and my entire self,
Making me feel ashamed of myself
As I could not give them a fight,
My strength dwarfed before their might,
They groped my whole body
Like insects wriggling to embody,
My existence and my pride,
Setting my prayers and cries aside,
They clawed ,
They scratched,
They bit me,
One by one they hit me,
Forced themselves
On me, reducing to dust myself,
My eyes are still black and blue,
My lips bleed from where they chewed,
The scratches hurt and pain,
As I see them again and again.
My eyes bleed tears
Of pain and fear,
My dear mirror,
Please do not share,
My grief,
Cause it will not grant me any relief,
Keep everything to yourself and hold
Within you, all that my body told,
Please do not complain,
Help me to from all this refrain,
Or else I will be posed with ugly questions,
Will be subjected to my character's assassination,
I am not ready to face questions for no fault of mine,
Although my heart curses those swines,
My body aches,
My confidence shakes,
No I do not want to undergo it all over again,
Aching my every vein,
With remembrances of the dastardly act,
With you this is my secret pact,
I share my pain with you and only you,
You promise to keep it to yourself, helping me to bid adieu.
Bid adieu to the hurt and pain,
Start a new life again,
With hopes and determination,
You my friend be my motivation,
So I can fight any situation,
Getting rid of the present state of suffocation,
Heal my wounds,
Defeaning myself to their bawdy sounds,
Shake up and get out,
Be bold and mentally stout,
But you my friend remind me of it all,
So I can reach out to such souls, answer their calls,
Understand their sufferings and agony,
Help the world fight such cowards, loonies,
Help myself forget the scratches,
The ugly, grey patches
Of the evil event,
Paint with colour and happiness give vent
To all the pain of my body and heart, mask the dents
Of my melancholic lament,
Shh! Keep quiet my mirror dear,
Please do not ever disclose my pain or despair!
