Beyond borders

No nation in heart do I bear
No flame in speech do I share
For a limited portion of land
Is but million speckles of sand
Notionless, nationless I stand
On my heart heavy the hand
Swearing oath is not my kind
Allegiance is but to the mind
Motionless, nationless yet blind
To coloured drapes you unwind
Red throats hoarse would sing
Anthems all emotions stirring
Passionless, nationless I wring
Hands tied by this unseen thing
That binds me not to any place
For each kingdom is but a face
Cautionless, nationless I pace
Countries leaving not a trace
For a line one would not heed
Wonders laying beyond greed
Lines are of war the very seed
Gift, love turned to want, need
Flaming speech my soul I spare
For no nation in mind do I care
Woman, cover up!
A friend told me recently something along the lines of “u r the trigger happy kinds, who goes viral and blogs instantly. No?” and I thought to myself “yes, and so what”. I had decided almost 4 years ago that I would never cover up but rather share. At the end of the day what is hidden is what encourages corruption, rotting like a purulent sore in the midst of your mind and body.
To all who wonder why I share real-life experiences (safe some things which cannot be shared for legal reasons as I learnt later), I have to say that my position has not changed from that day, almost four years ago. I wish all women would dare share, speak up, for themselves and for others that they sometimes have to speak up for. Women, never cover-up. Speak your mind, speak your truth. We have nothing to be ashamed of. For every injustice that is committed against you, for ever wrongdoing that you have to undergo, do not take it silently. It is society who should be ashamed if anything untoward befalls you, not you. Be brave, be pure of heart, nothing not even the most defiling acts can take your purity of heart, your self-respect and your dignity if you do not allow it to happen.
Be brave, be true to yourself and not to what others expect of you. Be YOU in all your glory <3
