Writer's digest prompt for PAD day 1 is resistance. A poem for a courageous woman fighting for justice alone,
they are
stalking
they are
threatening
every day!
their eyes
are on me
where I go
what I do
whom I talk
with
whom I meet
who loves me
whom I love
how I work
and
how I relax
every day
for years
every day
from morning to evening
my phone
calls,
my casual chats
my grocery
shopping
my exercise
my travel
and
my even my
silent tears
they are
cruel
I am calm
they want to
break me
I am growing
strong
they scare
me
I am growing
tough
they want to
break me
my courage
my silent
courage hits back
quietly! my
confident eyes retaliate
everyday
years are
passing
they have
power
I have the courage
they have
money
I have the
strength of truth with me
years are
passing
life is
going on
I am alone
I am a woman
a weak human
what they
believe
I am a woman
easy and safe to
threaten
and
easy to
break
what they
thought
I am alone
they are
many
with ugly
cruel faces and bikes
their cars
crossing me
on every square
loaded guns
around me
I am alone
calm and
fearless
working
bravely
'I can’t have
weapon'
they thought
it’s easy to
kill me
they thought
they planned
it’s easy to
kill me
their
threats
my fears
I will die
with fear
"no proof, no crime!"
they laughed!
their power laughed at the innocent woman
what they
assumed
when they
began
when they
began
years have passed
I have my
weapon
my courage
my strength
my eyes with confidence
“dare to
look at me
and the
whole world will know your crime”
my eyes tell
them
yes! I am
alone
they are
many
still my
eyes tell them,
“the world
is with me
you are
losing this game.”
my fight for
justice
with growing
courage
they are
scared
their
weapons are weak now
years are
passing
fight is
going on
war for
justice is going on
by a woman
alone
without any
help
without any
weapon
with the
monsters
silently
injustice is
being defeated
their
ugly aggressive faces
look worried
now
my war for
justice
with calm
courage
they stalked
they snooped
for years
I was calm
when it all began
I am calm
even today
my fight for
justice
my fight for
freedom
my fight for
my rights
though
soundless for this world
I am winning
every day
this game
they are
losing
every day
I am winning
with the
power of courage
I am winning
this game
for my
freedom
for my
justice
for my
rights!
my courage
is winning
my life is
winning
my eyes are
winning!
