Can I un-see
What I already saw?
Can I un-feel
What I already felt?
Can I un-fear
The fear that's already within me now?
Can I feel unashamed
Because it wasn't my fault.
Can I feel loved again
Like I've deserved to be felt always?
Can I feel un-talked about
It's really my private hell
Can I un-cringe anymore
At the very act of all men?
Can I ever feel un-deafeated
Like I felt before?
Can I un-weep
At my brutal past?
Can I un-taint my skin
Free of scars and strife?
Can I un-cage my soul
To let it soar like it used to?
Can I un-shatter
These broken pieces of my life?
Can I un-hear
These judgmental voice around me?
CanI feel un-vulnerable
And trust again?
Can I feel un-destroyed
Go back to being the strong-me?
Can I feel un-guilty
It wasn't my lapse in judgment
Can I feel un-robbed
Of a real relationship?
But before I answer all these questions ....
Can you un-notice me
I'm not your private property
Can you un-touch me
The gruesome way you did?
Can you undo everything,
Everything?
Can you be a 'real man'?
Because I wasn't 'asking for it'!
Can you stand up for my cause?
Because it is not my battle alone now!

Thank you for reading and leaving a comment :)
I can't believe that in a country like our's which is supposed to be a democratic nation, we are banning things left right and center. We'd rather spend time behind such trivial issues than the larger ones at hand; something that will help the progress of this nation! Mindsets need to change ... there is no point in going back and forth over who did what.
