I've been suffocating for centuries
behind the thick walls of duty and dignity
Today, when I tried to break through them and come out,
you judged my conduct wrong
I've been enduring the pain of your piercing arrows,
I've been falling apart silently,
but today, when I tried to open my lips,
you judged my grammar wrong
Being a puppet on the stage of life,
I've been dancing on your taut strings
Now, when I want to sway to your rhythm,
you declared my conscience impure
Burying every pain
under the ashes of desires,
I've been wrapped in a smile,
I've always been suffocating under a double blanket
Today, when I want to embrace my true identity, you judged my appearance wrong
The burning Holi of my feelings, potential,
pain, and empathy continued to dissolve,
the scissors of your masculinity
cut them, but the bird's heart continued to yearn.
Today, when I want to reach my own sky,
you have declared the environment wrong.
Thank you so much for reading. Have a great day 😊🙏 @vikbuddy
