Kumuduni Kunj School

This poem is written about the trauma that an acid attack victimized girls

----

Saying `NO´ was my mistake?

Thousand times I ask the almighty here

what was my guilt please tell me dear!

just Saying `NO´ was my serious fault?

Had to reward such a costly Assault??

Behold! the people are mocking at me

Behold! the crowds are joking at me

Here I am! masked with crumbled face

Alas! gone my relishing beauty and grace!

Had it turned into just a nightmare

Had I escaped from the wind of despair

Wanna have a world without a visage

World has turned just a dark passage!
