Poem: Cessation Of A Dream

Cessation of the Dream-
The voice of rape victims

The wings got burned, charred to ashes
But I had things to settle, a life to nourish
I was dragged in the dark by the unknown
The venom that is oblivious to humanity
The other kind of human where emotions never flourish.

I have read ,learned and captured treasured memoirs
Dying in the arms of loved ones, a fortunate thing to happen,
But I was deprived, injured and crushed so poor
They thrashed my soul and here it departed for heaven.

My dream to serve, to love and to nurture
My dream to live in gratification, my dream
to see the smile, and a dream of new beginnings with my heart beating for a dear one.

All of those unfinished,
God, this cessation was not expected
I heard the poison is out from the society, so am I
But who bothers, as the incomplete dreams?

Will wait till the next life,
The reason of the cessation of my dream is ambiguous still,
But who cares now ,my dreams are abandoned for this life.

My only wish that my family on Earth, lives with strength and never shed a tear,
But as I bid adieu, tears cannot be stopped,
My love cannot be snatched and a day my dream will resurrect and I will stay here forever.
