I see madness, madness in your eyes Eyes filled with rage, the rage I never wish to encounter I am frightened, frightened of the consequences I will be hurt one more time One more time left to cry alone Hushhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Shhhhh Don’t speak, don’t show your tears Others will find out Façade of the happy family will be exposed Exposed will be your false pride This rage and aggression - any purpose does it serve? Other than destruction damage so profound Respect is lost gone is the warmth What should I do with my damaged soul? How can you explain your explanation for violence? You said you were angry because I failed to obey your commands Out of the burst of anger, you slapped and pushed to teach me a lesson Yes, I learned a lesson- a lesson not to be a victim anymore What an explanation given-can you explain your explanation, please? Who gave you the right god? Your parents? My parents? Your family? Your friends? Society? or have I permitted you? Yes, my silence might have permitted a wife beater in you Now, I will speak I will speak to convey to those who feel They have a birthright to hit and abuse a woman Because they are born a man Be a man who respects a woman for who she is Time to reflect time to change your glasses To look at a woman from a new perspective has reached The world is changing so does our society Women are not left behind anymore Why are you still behind in your perception of a woman? She has a voice don’t take her silence as her weakness A voice that counts, a voice that matters A woman is not an object To be thrown when you are bursting with anger To be burnt when you are burning with rage To be slapped and pushed when you fail to drive your aggression away Take a break from your wrath If you cannot regulate your emotions-let others help you Family, friends, professionals Learn to respect a woman If a woman can give birth- she can bury too Bury her soul to let the light come from within Before you raise your abusive voice and hand Next time on a woman Think and think again What if a woman also starts looking through your glasses? Chaos and more chaos will be the consequences No explanation can ever justify brutality Your anger cannot explain the mishandling No justification is enough for violence Violence again woman need to stop Stop the brutality-Raise your voice Pallavi Psychologist pausementalwellnessstudio.com
