Prompt: Repercussion
Days are lengthy,
Every minute ticks slow,
Every second I count,
Is this what I expected?
Definitely no!
Then why?
I ask myself,
I ask my inner self.
I get a vague reply,
"Its because of you!
Because of your repercussion.
You don't agree?"
What did I do?
"You were being so good to everyone,
You were being that perfect painting everyone wishes to have,
You are abstract of the definition of "beauty",
You are the kindest."
All this made me fall into the trap?
I don't think so.
My life was different.
I was what I am now.
What makes the difference?
"There's a lot of difference.
You were killing yourself by being unreal all these days,
Ask yourself.
Sit in a corner and question yourself.
Is this what you wanted in your life?
Marrying a man,
Being caged inside this lonely house.
Is this what you really wanted?"
Definitely no!
I wanted to be independent,
Wanted to go to job,
Wanted to explore the world,
Wanted to experience everything,
But...
Right now I'm trapped in this cage.
An abusive husband,
Lonely house,
And serving the house like a slave,
I feel like a caged bird.
"Answer this. Why did you marry this man?"
Only because I thought I loved him,
And I thought I can fulfill my dreams,
But my repercussions became so wrong,
I'm dying.
I was wrong.
I want to fly out of this cage.
I want to get rid of this lonely torturous environment,
With no one to talk to,
And no one to explain too.
Save me!
" At least you realised your mistake now. Escape!
I'm sure you can!"
Battling with inner self,
I decided to give it a try.
Planning to escape to redeem myself from here,
For good.
