She said, 'Get up, or else they'll do it again'
But I thought I'll not go, It'll be a vain
They got stronger and flickered upon every bird
Every softy got trapped in that disgusting herd
I remained quiet thinking that would do
He continued to smash every small dew
A Bird did scream but she was cut bad
We wanted to tell but courage we didn't had
Now it's gettin' screwed 'cause bird was a new-born
She was small, shine , wearing a uniform
No matter now, If I die or they throw me out
I will stand for little bird , and now I'll shout
'Fear' was what held me back tight
I killed Fear, what I wronged, I'll right
We'll save little bird, we'll do what we didn't
I'll crack that ugly devil person hidden
You'll witness with your eye, You'll see our drive
Because – the heat of my past is still alive

Great poem and nice tribute. you have a sensitive heart which comes through in your writing.
Beautifully written M!! Rape cases are increasing day by day and every time I hear one my life comes to a standstill. Not just because I am a girl , its also because I am a human and empathy just peaks in me. I really adore your poem girl!!
Your poem captures the journey from fear to courage beautifully. It powerfully advocates for the voiceless and highlights a critical issue with deep compassion. Thank you for shining a light on such an important topic and honoring the spirit of the little girl.
Oh my heart is hurting for that little girl and all that suffer abuse in any form. I loved the power and emotion in your words :)
This was certainly a beautiful tribute to her
