Unheard Pleas

Gowri Bhargav posted under PenMuse-42 Poetry on 2022-06-14



I am different but I haven't sinned Alas! I shed silent tears I yearn to be free, why can't you see? Will you please put an end to my fears? All my pleas seem to fall on deaf ears Trapped in a body unknown  Why can't you see? I yearn to be free My identity seems to be torn I too deserve a place in this world  For my rights, why should I fight? I yearn to be free, why can't you see? I don't wish to remain out of sight With my head held high, I wish to walk Embracing my choice with pride  Why can't you see? I yearn to be free Accept me, set all taboos aside.   Penmancy gets a small share of every purchase you make through these links, and every little helps us continue bringing you the reads you love!
