No wonder India has high rape rate

 As a daughter you are taught that parents are there for you

As a wife you are taught husband is there for you

As a mother you are taught your son is there for you 

No wonder India has high rape rate

Son doesn't take care of his parents

Who to blame? daughter- in- law

When you don't care for your parent

Who you blame? sister-in-law

When you can't bear a child

Even when the anatomical problem is in your husband

Who society blames? "you" as a wife

And when your husband has an affair

Well, something maybe wrong with You

And when you have an affair

Then something is definitely wrong with you

And just in case if you are not married, you are lesbian or something away from norm

The society wants to "fix" you

It never leaves you to be by yourself to grow-to enjoy- to laugh 

Every step of the way what society "teaches" you

Especially those men and women -who have everything laid perfect for them

Or who pretend to be on some higher moral ground

That You are at fault

 You are the Fault

With each Fear in your mind- You crush your first chakra

With each Guilt that society puts in you- you crush your second chakra

With each shame society puts in you- you crush your third chakra

As Society makes sure it remains that way

Making you some Goddess for name sake

And when you try to stand against these crazy societal norms

It resist you- as its good for Men to have this world just the way it is 

And then you waste your precious life 

Putting make-up on to make sure you look good - in societies eyes

You work hard to make sure you come across strong

As you have to prove to yourself and someone else

That you are worthy

As your worth depends on someone else

No wonder India has high rape rate
