Chalo phir se/ Once more

 
Let's unravel that
Moment in time they
Stripped us off our childhood.
Is this
Scar the first time you felt
Your youth ripped away from you
Or is it this
Strip of skin when
Your innocence
pulled away
From you in shreds.
Did you feel this black n blue
Bruise when
They attacked your soul and you
Cowering in your fear grasped
No one but yourself?

Let's discover how carefully
We, those who see another and know,
Identify another scar, yet another,
Disguised as a birthmark
As if your suffering too was a Birthright
You inherited.
As if you too
Were born with targets on you
you spent years
Trying to hide.
