#UNSPOKEN – Is #MeToo Movement
#UNSPOKEN – Is #MeToo Movement
We live in a world of social media trend
Just a click and your message reaches world’s other end
And there’s a lot of power in this write and send
We have a platform to be heard and to defend
Just recently we saw such a campaign
A #MeToo tag started a revolutionary chain
What a commoner, what a celebrity, everyone is coming out of the box
Horrifying revelations are sending huge wave of shocks
But there are many who claim this #MeToo is a game.
All we desire is to get an easy fame
Seriously??
Are we supposed to enjoy this public display?
Those lewd comments, how we were touched the wrong way?
Just read those statuses, some girls were just 4 or 5
Even after ages, those memories are still alive
For all her life, it was a secret with a seal
Only now she got the courage to make this big reveal
As you can’t handle it, you claim that now she is being violent
And there are many who ask, that day, why she was silent
Why she didn’t scream, shout or even react
If it was so severe to make such an impact
Well, what they don’t understand that
These abusers don’t wear a tag on their faces
They are so vicious, that they don’t leave any traces
And worse, sometimes they belong to the families, friends or workplaces
Such actions from people who are supposed to care or to bless
Don’t make you angry or brave, but you feel helpless
The brain goes numb, the body stone cold
The embarrassment forces you to wear a blindfold
As our society only cares about the honor and the pride
That’s the reason why the girl never cried
Years ago, in a temple, someone pinched my chest
For many minutes, the situation was hard to digest
I still remember those moments, so vivid, so clear
That paralysis, shame, guilt and fear
I remember each and every emotion that I felt
The visuals, those sounds and how that place smelt
Every #MeToo that you see carries a bag of pain
Something big or something small, we live it again and again
Please don’t get surprised how these tags have filled your Facebook wall
You are just oblivious to the fact,
That almost every lady around you, have been through this fall
Not just real life, the internet is also not secure
Messages, comments or replies; there is a lot to endure
The hi, the love you, from creepy to abuse
But then many get offended when we decide to make it a news
Why the status, you should just block and forget
By making such scenes, there is nothing you can get
They say, that we expose them just for the attention
Sweetheart, he is not the first one that we felt to mention
There are hundreds of others who are already blocked
It’s just, We are just totally fed up of being stalked
And ignoring such morons is the worst we can do
They get power from our cowardice and move to the next one in the queue
And what if the next one is not enough blunt or bold
She is always taught to do whatever is told
Because her family always made her live in the wraps
And the harasser is very clever in making such traps
She makes the mistake of falling for it
Makes a friend out of someone totally unfit
The moment she will realize his real intention
It may be already too late for any prevention
He will take a screenshot and
Will say that she is the one to blame
And even if she will try, no one will believe her claim
Because that’s how it works, right?
Males can be studs, but females are characterless
Correct or not, we are always on the wrong side of the guess
You can’t understand the level of this fright
This rant, it was all in my mind but it took me days to write
As I know, there are people who will call it a stunt
So I have to be loud for such innocent souls
I have to stand for myself and my sisters against these heartless trolls
So all people out there who wants us to stay mum
Who dictate that we are not supposed to beat the drum
I have a suggestion for you, the one you keep for us in store
Whenever you see such statuses, can you please just ignore
As these statues were never meant for you
We never asked for your approval, if it’s false or if it’s true
It’s for the ladies out there who have been through such zone
To let them know that they were never alone
You can’t help or understand, cool, please just scroll down
We already have enough, don’t need more negativity around
After centuries of oppression, finally we are standing against this curse
Now you just can’t drag us down, because everything bad we will get,
will be greeted back by the worse
We may look emotional, weak or soft like a feather
But don’t you dare underestimate us, because now #WeStandTogether
