Written by: Pravartika Gandhi
It’s not a safe world for you,
Jyoti, Delta, Asifa, there have been a lot.
You must not wear such clothes,
You must not stay out so late,
You must not travel alone,
Or trust an unknown man.
Take care of their ego,
Or you’ll suffer your entire life,
Don’t respond to eve teasing,
Even if it kills you inside.
Why do I have to pay the cost,
They commit the crime yet I get lost,
Suddenly I have no one, no where to turn to,
Whenever does justice prevail, whenever is the anguish axed?
I want them to say to me,
"It’s not your fault, we’re always by your side"
I want them to comfort and unfetter me,
But instead what I hear is,
It’s not a safe world for you,
Jyoti, Delta, Asifa, there have been a lot.
