Poem

Doleful doll ( attested with an audio in my voice)

Why mom, why didn’t you tell me?
Why didn’t you educate me that I am not in a safe zone?
I was frightened of fire
Which burns everything in its sight
But not of cold behavior
I was alerted of creatures tiny
Which tease me if I don’t secure myself
But not of cunning claws that surround me
I was taught to walk carefully
caring myself from falling
But not of those steps which steal my soul from me
Why mom, why didn’t you educate me that I am not in a safe zone?
I was aware of dangerous animals
Which live in jungles
But not of those who appear not like animals
But are more dangerous than which live in jungles
I was taught how to speak
How to express my feelings
But not of those whose words are dipped in mean means
Which aim at chopping my throat to speechlessness
I was taught to play joyously
Where I know nothing but toys lifeless
But not of those who turn me a lifeless toy in their hands
to play with me till I am lost
Why mom, Why didn’t you feed me with the knowledge of these creatures in guise?
I was pampered pleasing me with your love
But was not taught that not all who pamper are lovable
Had I known…had I known that your world is so cruel,
I’d have preferred death in your loving womb
Had I known that my birth itself is a sin
Which would make me a bait to beasts disguised,
I’d have never wished to grow in this gruesome world….
