Unlabel

We’ve come a long way baby, haven’t we?
Thawed you are, no longer cold!
Now cross that bridge, do more than a smidge
Treat me normal, don’t label me bold!

Call marriages just marriages now
No labels of queer or gay
Do more than a smidge, now cross that bridge
Why for your acceptance, should I pay!

Why am I a topic of concern?
Like or unlike me the same
Now cross that bridge, do more than a smidge
Sans flag or march, dignity I’ll claim!

Let my day begin and end like yours
In work, in love, in prayer
Do more than a smidge, now cross that bridge
For now I defy, I dream, I dare!

Manoshi Bose

Manoshi Bose is a postgraduate in Analytical and Medicinal Chemistry and began her career in the pharmaceutical industry. However, her long-drawn clandestine affair with the written word just refused to die. After traveling the length and breadth of the country with her man in blue (Air Force, not Cricket) and dabbling in various fields like teaching, medical transcription, and content writing, she has finally decided to give her love for writing the time it deserves. As an empty nester currently living with her husband and five dogs in rural India, she believes there's ample material for her to tap into.
