I was but a bud
In your womb Oh Mother
Yet to spread my wings
The queen of your heart
A journey, a life yet to start
I was called out names
Labelled
Taunted
My wings ripped apart
Pulled out
Leaving me bloodied
The dreams shattered
Incinerated
Nipped
Why Oh Mother!
I whimpered, I cried
My groans died
Suffocated, deep down in that abyss
Caliginous
Loneliness
A lush fecund life
Wasted!
Why Oh Mother!
The pain of dejection
Those suppurating wounds
Ripping me apart
Into pieces
They sliced my body
They scathed my soul
Mutilated I fell
Charred
Beyond redemption
Why Oh Mother!
The hatred in those eyes
The bitter twisted skies
Trampling me underneath
I have been there long enough
My body cocooned in you
One Heart One Soul
But oh!
To hear yourheaving heart
Forlorn
Beset with gloom
Filled with burns
Weakened by your soulful cries
Why Oh Mother!
Its time for a daybreak
Shiny & clear
Leaving behind
The past of fear & pain
Rise from the history’s shame
Bringing the gift of birth
Be the dream, be the hope
Of the Womb
Let it NOT be a Tomb
Rise Oh Mother!
