Many Came Before Me,

Colour red

You think you can tame me

Just because this pendent of your name

Is hanging from my neck

You think I wouldn't cross the threshold

Just because the sound of my anklets

Are more loyal to you

You think my identity belongs to you

Just because the bangles I wear

Is marked by your name

You think I would obey you

As the commands of those Gods

Just because you coloured me red.

It's so ironic that we ourselves created a world we want to escape every waking moment.

Evil Place Called Mind

I stare into the void,

Lost in my head.

I scream from inside,

I beg for help.

It's an bottomless abyss,

An endless maze.

As the tendrils of evil thoughts,

Drags me down,

Deeper and deeper,

To some dark unknown place.

I look at the sky,

Grasping the hanging roots of sanity,

I pray to God,

For some semblance of reality.

But the sky still remains dark,

As it throws back my plea,

As if saying I'm not worthy enough,

For the life given to me.

I lose my grip on sanity,

Losing all hope,

As a firm tendril yanks me down,

Trapping me somewhere I can't get out of.

It's the evil place called my mind.

What's left in this world?

The dreams crushed

By love or lack of it

The waves of ruins

crashing nearby

While the light of hope

Setting on the horizon

The silence sings along

With our pain

Untill the mind craves oblivion

To run towards insanity

To seek shelter from reality

Insignificant, like a dust, that's what I am.

Na hum khud se khush hain,

Na iss duniyaa ki rivazon se;

Fir v ussi ko leke age kyun badh rahe hain hum?

malum hai ki kuchh galat ho raha hai;

Jo samaj Humne banaya tha,

Usse humara hi dum ghut raha hai;

Fir bhi badlab se itna darte kyun hain hum?

Great working with you.@writingsbypb

Iss confusion k raaste main kuch naya sikhne ko mil gaya❤

I'd love to say ki our generation is more accepting than the previous generation. But bohot log aise v hain ki jinko jio aur jine do ka matlab samajh main nhi ata.

Everyone Deserves Respect,

Love,

And

Acceptance By The Society.

Whether Molested Girl Or LGBTQ People

Whether Rich Or Poor

Whether Educated Or Uneducated

Whether Employed Or Unemployed.

1947, 15th of August at the stroke of midnight

India got its independence,

Rights to equality and freedom for all humans.

“All humans?”

“Nope.”

“For that, you have got to pass the criteria

We have for men and women.”

Our Society Has Never Accepted LGBTQ Community. Even after the decriminalization of Section 377. A very popular personality when came out and said that he is bisexual, his mother and brother left him. His mother doesn't consider him her child anymore. If the family does not come forward and accept their child's sexuality then how can we aspire to change the society. Just because of this fear, no-one says it openly to their family nor they talk about it. It is one's personal choice. No one has the right to put question marks on them. There are certain groups of transgender people who are identified as Hijras, Kothis, Shiv Shaktis etc. In the past they were treated with great respect but with time, their respect is disappearing.

A man in love with another man

A woman who likes other women

What the- This is not how you're supposed to dress!!

This is unnatural, abomination, a disease.

Have you ever tried seeking a doctor, or a babaji perhaps?

_______________________________________

Dear people of society,

How do you know who I'm supposed to be?

Who the hell are you to decide who should I love?

I don't dress like men or women. I dress like me.

I'm not abomination, unnatural or a disease

And no, I'm not going through a phase.

This is not a western culture either.

This is my identity, my individuality.

That you refuse to accept,

Yet you claim to celebrate, “Unity in diversity”

They are human beings too, whose feelings get hurt every time someone teases them. There are approximately 480,000 transgender people in India, and they are referred as “Third Gender” now. The rights for males, females and Third Gender is equal. Their right to have equal education, health facilities and employment is constantly violated. They should be given equal opportunities as others. They should be treated equally.

How do I educate you?

You, who have divided the people

In “male”, “female” and “others”.

Where “others” stands for us

Coz we don't fit your norms.

How do I educate you?

You, who have built

A closet around me

And when I come out

I lose my name

Instead I become

Chakka, hijra, meetha and what not.

How do I tell you, people?

That I'm human too.

You, who in the month

of June, uses #PRIDE

But for the rest of the year

Uses my sexuality as a gali

How do I make you understand?

That I'm also a child of God

You, who's still killing people

Who dare to marry for love.

Did you know?

That the warrior Shrikhandi in Mahabharata was a transgender. He was born as a girl.

Bhagiratha who's believed to bring Ganga to earth was procreated by two queens with the blessing of Lord Shiva.

That Agni, the fire god, is also married to Soma, the moon god.

No?

What about when Krishna says in Gita,

“In every man, woman, kinnar(transgender) and any other species of animal or plant, lives a part of me.”

Those moments when...

I've learned to live alone

And loneliness doesn't get to me anymore,

Except in those moments....

When I wake up in the middle of the night

And find the space on my right

Empty and cold...

When I'm going to work

And on the way pass the abandoned factory

Where we used to sneak up as kids...

When I'm frustrated at the world

Or confused what to do

And my first thought is to call you....

When I'm laughing hysterically

And I suddenly stop the moment

Because you're not here to share it with me...

When people tell me their plans for the night

And I think about my home

And the silence waiting there to greet me....

When I'm lost in my thoughts

And subconsciously call out your name

And no one is there to answer me back.....

When I see a shooting star

And I wonder in silence

If you're still wishing on them

Or have you stopped believing in wishes?

*****

( Hindi alert)

Akele rehna sikh liya maine,

Ab to tanhai se bhi ek rishta sa ban gaya hai.

Shibaye un lamhon main....

Jab adhi raat ko aankh khul jati hai

Aur tumhare jagah suni bistar meelti hai

Jab baton hi baton main tumhari yaad aa jati hai

Aur tumhare na hona ka ehsas chubhne lagta hai

Jab anjane main ye lab tumhare naam le lete hain

Aur jabab main inhen sirf sannata hi milta hai

Jab koi sabal pareshan karta hai

Aur jabab main tumhara naam yaad ata hai

Jab mandir main kabhi dua mangne jati hun

Aur har dua main tumhara hi naam hota hai

Aur jab kabhi bhi asman main

Ek toota hua tara dikhta hai

Main sochti hu,

Dunia ki kisi kone main

Kahin tum bhi ise dekhkar

Mujhe yaad to nahi karte?

Kya tum mujhe yaad karte bhi ho?

Hopes

Are like dust

I try to stay away

Not to let it fog my mind

But they still cling to me

I try to get rid of it,

Every

Last

Particle

But the next day

I end up with more of them

Sprayed in my eyes.

Just let me take a breath...

I wish life had a pause button;

I wish I could hide behind a curtain,

Till I'm ready to face the world;

I wish I could take a break,

To gather my strength

And then resume the race;

I'm not saying I'll stop altogether;

Just let me take a breath

Let me take a breath, please...
