STOP --anguished cry of a girl child in India

I want to grow,

 I want to live,

Stop killing me. 

 I want to speak,

I want to laugh, 

Stop gagging me.

I want to see,

I want to admire,

Stop blinding me. 

 I want to relax,

I want to enjoy,

Stop censuring me. 

 I want to explore,

I want to discover,

Stop confining me. 

 I want to stretch,

I want to unwind,

Stop stifling me.

 I want to think,

 I want to imagine,

Stop suffocating me. 

 I want to love,

 I want to be loved,

Stop hating me.
