Why did you do this to me? What wrong I had
done to you? I didn’t even know you. I just said a simple ‘no’. Was it that
hard to accept?
You
must be having a lot of guts to do this. I must say. Now show some more and come
and face me. Come and see the effects of the acid you tossed .I have lost all
my colors. Now I am only gray and black.
What have you achieved by doing this?
You can’t feel and imagine the pain I am
going through. My skin is peeling all over. Or I should say there is no skin left
at all. Only skeleton with cracked bones is left. My beautiful eyes have turned
into deep holes and people avoid eye contact with me. I cannot speak now. My tongue
has been badly burnt. Leave speaking, I find it hard to breathe, even to
swallow.
I walked confidently .But now I have lost
it all.
You said you love me?? Ah! What an ashamed
lover you are. I never loved you and now I simply hate you.
I
have lost everything. Will you ever be able to return all that? If you cannot,
who gave you the right to snatch away my beauty from me? My parents are dying
with me bit by bit every day.
Don’t you dare do it again to another
pretty face? I beg of you.
Why no
one came to help me?
Would
you have reacted the same way had I been your own sister, mother or daughter?
You
all left me there bleeding and in excruciating pain.
How can
people behave as rocks?
This is not a fictional story or article.
This is something which is happening all around us. In every morning news,
there are at least 2 cases of acid attacks. Other crimes that top the chart are
of gang rapes, honor killings, domestic violence, eve teasing, molestations and
the list is endless.
But all of us can bring a little change to
the society as a whole. Instead of just sitting, gossiping and thinking that it
cannot happen to me, we can try to bring a change through small leaps.
Here is the chance to pen about such crimes
that are eating the society like termites.
Crumpled Voices is an anthology that is all
about such crimes. Do participate and let the world know that still some of us
are not just gossiping, we are actually acting
