The brainwashing monster

It was Women’s Day last week. I wanted to post a nice article, but I have my exams next week. So I wrote a poem quickly. Please forgive me if this one has any mistakes, its written in 15 minutes. I know I have been posting many poems lately, but I don’t really have time to write articles. Sorry! Anyways, enjoy the poem. Happy Women's Day!




I am locked up in the prison of norms,
Darkness is what surrounds me.
The sunshine of hope struggles to reach me.

The monster of narrow-mindedness has engulfed society,
He is staring at me,
With blood-shot eyes,
And a desire to destroy me.

(Flashback)
Life wasn’t any better back then too,
Home-making was what I had to do.
Settling down was made my profession,
Mocking me was the society’s obsession.

Everyone was possessed by the monster,
With no realization of what it could administer.
The air was filled with a smoke of captivity.

The world smiled at the thought of fake freedom,
And the monster easy hypnotized them.
And eventually started engulfing them.

They chained me up one day,
The chains were lit up with the fire of hatred.
They pulled and pushed,
They forced me,
They even tried to brainwash me.

But I didn’t listen.
So I was taken to prison,
Though the prison had the dust of death,
The spirit of life refused to leave me.

Right now,
I am locked up in the prison of norms,
Darkness is what surrounds me.
The sunshine of hope struggles to reach me.

The monster of narrow-mindedness has engulfed society,
He is staring at me,
With blood-shot eyes,
And a desire to destroy me.


P.S.: In case you didn't get it, the protagonist or narrator of this poem is a woman

Perks of being alone

Solitude. They call it. Self discovery. I call it. My parents are on a trip to Thailand. Honestly, I thought I’d just sit at hom...
