Just her innocence ?
Sitting beside the window and scrolling through my phone
I came upon some recent news which made me question myself
That is innocence a weapon or a weakness?
Is freedom for a girl still a desire or a right ?
It was just her innocence , still she suffered from pain
She had a filthy hand on her , it wasn't of someone she knew
And now She is scared of every hand on her even if she knew
She was afraid of the voice she heard, again who was it ?
Which made her scared of every brutal voice around her !
She was harassed by a group of men on the way back from school
And now she was forced to make up her mind to never leave alone
All her desires and wishes were at the brink of passing in the vain
She wanted to roam on the street at midnight which is now like a jail
It's the voices in her ear letting her bow down everywhere
And the haunting scenes not allowing her to roam anywhere
She still questions herself , why was she harassed or molested ?
Was it because she was beautiful or was it her innocence!
The men who accused her is now hiding somewhere
But the girl ,the victim is flashed on the screen everywhere
It isn't easy for her to forget whatever happened with her
He humiliated her and made all her desires seem like it's blur
But she didn't forfeit , she still wants to stand up against such men
She wants to make her innocence not as a weakness but as a strength!
But are people there to support her ?
Should we force her to accept the reality of the world?
Or should she try to change the reality of the world?
I still ask myself was it just innocence leading to all the above events?
