My husband beats me every day!
I cry in pain,
but no one cares,
no one even comes and says don't cry.
Everyone criticises me non stop,
I only hear how bad I am.
It hurts, I feel I don't deserve to live!
I have to obey everyone's orders, right or wrong,
I have to behave nicely with all however bad they are,
If by mistake I open my mouth, all pounce on me together.
Just few hours of sleep at night,
bruises and pains in body, burning eyes,
A life without love and care.
I would like to run away but where will I go?
I don't have a house of my own!
Alone on road's I can't imagine myself , hungry wolves would pounce on me at night.
If only my parents had informed me about this before,
I would have worked hard, educated myself well, earned and purchased an house,
I would have learnt self protection skills like judo and karate.
Maybe they didn't want to scare me,
Maybe they thought I would be happy after marriage,
Maybe they wanted me to enjoy my childhood.
I hide all this from my parents,
I don't want to make them sad,
I don't want to be a burden on them.
Sometimes I feel like dying, but I know all about it's consequences,
Now I have killed my emotions, desires, expectations,
I live a life of living dead
If you have a daughter please see to it that she doesn't suffer,
make her bold and independent! educate her!
she should have a house of her own where she can run away and live happy.
