After they left
I was sitting and watching My self in the mirror
I was sad and was looking with some horror
I wanted to put an end to my life
I was sitting and was holding a knife
I wanted to cut my wrist
I had lost the hope to exist
I was sitting and watching My self in the mirror
I was sad and was looking with some horror
I wanted to put an end to my life
I was sitting and was holding a knife
I wanted to cut my wrist
I had lost the hope to exist
But I thought if there is anything I can do
So I went to the Police station without any further ado
They asked me from where it all began
and what was I doing in the Rain
Why was I wearing a Skirt
and that too with a revealing shirt
So I went to the Police station without any further ado

Questions like did they first undress
or they started to press
From where did they first insert
From where was I getting Hurt
Instead of Registering the Report
They Repeatedly insisted why my clothes were short

At-last they asked if that was my first time
Like instead of the rapists I have done some crime
I looked at the wrist and the knife
because I know Now I cant be anyone's wife
I am looking at the wrists and the knife
I am going to end my life
silence prevails.........
