Why is it that we choose to end the trauma of our lives by taking such an extreme step? Why do we have that mute instruction to not talk about our mental health?
Perhaps, daughters are never taught to speak for their rights and they continue being unloved and ignored. Some of them choice-less, helpless and dependent, bow down to their destiny whereas a few end up in the most undesirable way. Love may inspire, enthral or uplift, but it also does agonize, break and poison our lives.
She lay beside me In quietude Stock, still and calm Draped in colorful ensemble All set for a farewell To another world
A frazzled soul’s transition Into a motionless body More defunct, than the Lifeless landscapes of the moon
The spring never arrived To end the longest autumn of her life And she chose to cease The traumatic journey of her existence
A concoction of pesticides Conveniently terminated The prolonged era of depression Otherwise withheld by Prescriptions, pills and assurances
‘They’ had failed to detect The overflowing magma of her agony So she deserted life Like the snakes shed their skin The’ Ecdysis of Love’ And all its synonyms
For the six year old Bereaving his Mother’s untimely exit Was the only resort But for the six month old There wouldn’t be any memories
And I am left with none Cuddles, hugs, scuffles, secrets Aimless conversations She has departed forever My wilful accomplice My pal, my ideal My soul sibling
Her silent goodbye A painful blow to our fallacy That daughters should drag on being unloved Only to find solace In the arms of death
I wonder If love strengthens It does shatter And yes Love poisons too!
