Everyone tells themselves
A story about themselves

A kahani about themselves

I write because I cannot speak

I write …
For I cannot scream
For I cannot complain
I cannot express openly

I cannot speak the truth
I cannot blame anyone

I cannot protect the weak
I cannot help the helpless
I cannot cry
To appear weak

I write because

I cannot cannot exist without it
I cannot bring about a change

I WRITE BECAUSE I AM AFRAID
