I was standing, lost in my view
In my thoughts about my life
Having niche for a few
A horn, loud indeed, sharp too
Brought me back to mundane, tangible world
I realized I am at the gate of the city zoo
Smiled at my world of dreams
Looked at the cars, loud screams
Walked on the lane looking at tree
I was really feeling, “I am happy, I am free”
Three bikes, speeding and performing cuts
Heavy exhaust by them, ridden by some nuts
I noticed many pairs of eyes staring at me
Breaking my comfort, instilling insecurity
Breaking my believes about myself to be free
I know I am good looking, so what, is this a sin
Why can’t I roam freely? Kicking a can of tin
My ears then wanted to be deaf,
Hearing words, so hurting, so offensive
Comments wrapped in grim, crap
Anger turned into a small tear
I felt in my heart some fear
Then I questioned, am I wrong
If not, why to bear this, why not to be strong
I raised my head, with confidence in my eyes
Shouted loud, “shut up you scoundrels”
A shout out of rage, much large then my size
And amazed I was, happy and glad to see
Those self proclaimed heroes were running away, to flee
People all around, some were praising some were afraid
Some were consoling; I was thinking the encounter I just had
With shine in my eyes, I splashed water on my face
And went ahead, watching the weak human race.

If you succumb to pressure people will crush you but if you raise your voice they flee ....
