A Tattoo That I'd Never Wear

Look feminine, be soft

To set my boundaries I was always taught 

Wear fully covered, not any part to be shown 

I was called a shameless whenever I wore a torn 

Religion has to be my priority 

Practicing prayers, visiting mosque gave my humane assurity 

Our country has not yet attained independence 

Girls have to still give attendance 

Intercaste love is a permanent contradiction 

Parents don't mind marrying their daughters to someone with an addiction 

Where place decides clothing, region the rank, caste the status, religion the path

Alas! Under the shower of compromise I always bath 

Every minute, every hour, every single day 

I am reminded of my already decided way 

The society sets the prescriptions for me 

Like that jobless doctor Who injects fakeness without any fee

Where deep dug blouse is a tradition a girl wearing western is an exhibition 

The perspective so narrow, maturity even shallow 

Society injects fear and makes me look a scam 

I forge myself at every damn 

This injection is so unfair 

A tattoo that I would never wear!
