I Am Scared Of Love Poem by Sahil SharifdinEnglish

I am scared of love.
In fact, I hate love.
Love is a crime.
Love is a shame.
Love is a flaw.
Love is a monster,
I wasalways told:
Avoid it;
Ignore it;
Don't think of it;
Don't mention it.
Girls fear me.
Their dads hate me.
Their brothers dislike me.
Why? Why? Why?
Because I am a boy
And I can love.
Here in Kashmir,
Love divides us;
Love harms us;
Love hurts us;
Love jails us.
Love even kills us;
I am scared of love.
Love means to surrender,
To be a slave,
To obey,
To follow orders,
To please the other,
To stand nude
Before a dude.
I am scared of love.
Love means to talk
When you don't want.
Love means to chat
When you feel asleep.
Love means and means:
To whiten the face,
To wear the brand,
To buy a lift
And go on a date.
Loves means to tolerate:
An unhygienic kiss,
An unwanted hug,
A boring tale
And much more.
I am scared of love.
It is very injurious:
To my honour,
To my reputation,
To my education,
To my health,
Tomy wealth
And to my happiness.
I am scared of love.
I don't greet anyone.
Or meet anyone.
Or chat anyone.
Or give a smile.
Or crack a joke.
Lest she should say:
Hey, dude,
'You are cheap,
You are a flirt,
You want my body,
Wait, I call police,
Or my daddy
Or the crowd.
They will beat you
And teach you again:
Love is a crime,
Here in Kashmir.'
I am scared of Love.
