A ‘Bhalu’ Girl.

A ‘Bhalu’ Girl.

‘A Bhalu Girl’ said all,

It gave my tears a call.

My face was an imprecation,

It made my life a tension.

‘Beautiful’ I never was,

My hairs were the biggest cause.

Parlors’ couldn’t heal my face,

‘Faceless’ was I in this rat race.

Mirror always scared me,

Alas! From hairs I begged to get free.

Excess hairs on my face,

Gradually Stole, all my soul’s grace.

All made fun of me,

My hairy face gave them all glee.

I slowly became a ‘Social Zero’

Remained hidden my inner hero.

Intolerable was my life,

No one was ready to make me his wife.

To whom should I complain?

After all I had a big chunk of pain.

 

Finally,

I decided to commit suicide,

Grizzly, I wanted to end this ride.

At the suicide point, I stopped.

Suddenly, I didn’t want to get eloped.

Something inside me melted,

My soul felt quite elevated.

Don’t know what it was,

But I regained my courage in that pause.

Successfully,

Inside of me, I felt as a pearl,

Alas! No more I was ‘A Bhalu Girl’  ...’A Bhalu Girl’
