Say No!

I walk alone each day - even when you’re by my side. Fighting this Not once…not twice, But, over and over again, while they look at me with those eyes…. Teasing, tearing, ripping, raping eyes….. and I turn to you, to see some respite. But sadly it’s a dream, you’re not with me.

I walk alone amidst the crowd, in the lanes of life Brushed against, jostled and grabbed, its not a fleeting moment but everyday strife I SAY NO….. With rage I scream to let the scavengers know that we are more than one to SAY NO! Fighting tears of fears, veils of shame With a steely will and a steadfast frame WHAT MAKES ME THINK…… Is this storm within, Every time I face it! I shake it! to wake up again, to take a stand ALONE. Still hoping that someday you will come this way….. Embolden my action, not let me be an easy prey Standing together to SAY NO! Days pass and I wait to see there is some change You come together with me to fight back and SAY NO! To see the scavengers go!
