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!
