I live in a world

I live in a world
Where I don’t have a name
I am being known by someone else
My recognition is
Someone else’s fame.

I live in a world
Where I keep listening to others
I don’t have a say in
My present or my future

I live in a world
Where others decide
Who I will share my life with
Who is going to be by my side?

I live in a world
Where I have no future
Each day is just the same
Exactly as the other

I live in a world
Where I take care
To speak only when spoken to.
And not question, only answer.

I live in a world
But without a living
I am not living my life
I am only breathing

I live in a world
Where my heart screams.
It bleeds for love
And longs for dreams.

I live in a world
Where there is a void
Of feelings, of love
Of joy and pride.

I live in the world
But I question my existence
Every single day when
I put on this pretense.

          - Bhavana
