Fearlessly Poem by Aparna Chatterjee

When you write
Write fearlessly

Don't think
What your
Parents
Will say,
Don't think
What your
Children
Will say

Don't think
What your
Siblings
Will say,
Don't think
What your
Relations
Will say

Give a damn
To what this
Society
Will say!

Just write on
And express
What you
Want to say

For, believe me
Your neighbours
Your friends,
Your partners,
Your colleagues
And all the kith
And kin you know

Most of them
Would want to say,
What you want to say
But would chicken out
When they have to say!
