What is Wrong with me?
I didn't get raped, my flesh didn't tear!
No drops ever smeared for me!
I didn't cry to fame, nor roar for justice!
I didn't lose my life, nor did I become a nations' sorrow!
No one "facebooks" about me!
But I have a pain!!
A Pain that leaves me sleepless!
The pain of being one who can create another and destroy another of my kind!
The lunatic pain of being a daughter, a sister, a mother, a lover and a wife!
A pain of being a woman !
Is this a pain? A Shame?
For us being the force and the resource to just be manipulated?
For all the whims and fantasies and also the wild thrusts anytime?
To be killed every minute - in the womb, in a vehicle, in a home?
As a baby, as a child, as a teen, a youth or a oldie..
Wrong as how I am!!

Liked the poem
There is a certain helplessness about it. But a good attempt in expressing the sorrow, the rage of a woman.
Way to go!!
