Surrender



A broken strap, 

She holds herself back.

Boys check her like a meat

Though she gets back to the beat.




Running late for Work

She jumps onto the first bus

Heels waking up the office

She trembles to the notice


Walking sideways 


Avoiding occupied bays


She acted like a Novice.



Eyes rummage her sanctity.

Was it her number?
or her singularity?

Walking into that cabin,
She hears herself shuddering.
Colleagues, Seniors & House Keeping
She hunts for a perfect hiding.


She ruffles her fears 
And makes the noise

People called it Impatience
She calls it Voice.

Her neat notes, her loyalty
Her presentations maintain anonymity,

Her hardships turned pale

Fake concern in charity?



Day 2 of her life:

Waiting by the bus stop
She brushes her nails

Sharpens them actually

Hair untucked to neckline,

Bag transferred to front,

She chooses a darker Subway.

A day older,
She thinks she's smarter,
Finding a Blouse that's looser
She pushes the Red lipstick to last drawer...

Walking by a wider street
She decodes the reality

It isn’t her degree,
Nor the sanity
Not even her spirit
Never her popularity

Her existence was the trigger
Her curls, her blusher
She understood her waters
Indeed,
It is the shirt that matters.
