Life Or Death Poem by shikha shah
Life Or Death
I am counting up my demons..
Demons, that cursed my entire life..
And yet, I possess nothing but these demons..
Demons, that formed the basic axis of my life!
It should have been a day of great Delight,
When I made way to my mother's womb
But rather it turned to be a plight
For they considered my presence as malign..
Although at every step, I proved I am fine!
They always hoped for someone to be next in line
A son who can carry on the bloodline,
And soon I turned to be burden on their lives..
But I never let my hopes drown
For I knew A spl someone would respect my heart
But reality soon opened my eyes,
When I was brutally incensed to die….
I sacrificed my whole life,
They paid back by scrapping my first child!
Again I could do nothing but cry,
As I was never taught how to raise my voice..
I could never find my mistakes,
Nor the reason for never ending atrocities on my body and mind,
May be its all related to the deeds of my previous life.
Iniquitous sins that still haunt this wretched life!
I deny to accept the truth,
That says I committed a crime by being a feminine!
When children are directly sent by ‘His Divine'
Who are we mortals to challenge his mind?
Now in the final dawn of my life,
I am left with nothing but these demons of my so called life!
If only I could have shown some repugnance;
I could have turned my death to life!
I am counting up my demons.. Demons, that cursed my entire life.. And yet, I possess nothing but these demons.. Demons, that formed the basic axis of my life! such multiple use of demons makes it powerful and reverberating nice
