Just yesterday,
I too was lost
And scared.
And I wandered aimlessly for a long time.
How the day went,
Like a deer I was panting,
Desperate to find myself in this chaotic world.
I stopped on the way and wondered
What is it about people.
Everybody who saw me,
Had decided who I was
Even before I opened my mouth.
They all had an opinion on what I would become.
What would make me happy,
Who would make me happy,
What I should do ,
What I should not do,
How I should laugh,
How long I should remain sad,
How much I should achieve as a woman.
They even had answers on what would make me be loved.
They all wanted me to be a certain way,
To be tamed in a sort of way.
Nobody cared about my invisible world.
What I could do with it.
It went on as usual in the dark.
Unnoticed.
I decided,
I wouldn't tell them
About my it either.
I did not want them
To taint it with their version of a 'tamed human '.
