I could see his lust filled eyes staring at me.
My arms were numb and I was lying down on the ground.
Chains of hate and aggression had confined me,
But the bruise on my thigh didn’t hurt as much as the one on my mind.
I could see myself being the ‘talk of the nation’,
I could see myself on people’s social media stories and posts.
But all of it didn’t last for long,
Soon everything faded.
I looked at the dark hallway I was in,
Aligning with the room’s aura.
My mind was like a blank slate but the last thought that came to my mind was,
‘What was my mistake?’
Are you okay, Aditi.

Hey Yassy, it’s Adit actually. Thanks a lot for asking. It really means a lot. I am perfectly fine. I have actually written this poem because of a recent rape incident that occurred in my country! But I am well and good.
