I am not one again
I am not one again
I am not one again
Yet I had kept my feelings reserved
Because I loved being one again and again
But due to the existence of the superior forces,
I am not one again
Only left with pain which burns like fire
I winced but it blew up my body
With a hot sharp knife, covered in the salt,
Slicing through my skin and my muscles and bones
Oh am not one again!
But you, who told you to touch me?
Who told you to touch them?
Leave me alone
And leave them alone
Do you know that this is indecency?
As well as destroying my ego
Oh he has destroyed my pride!
Now am not one again
Now am not one again
Only left humiliated
Left with pain I didn't deserve
And hear because am a female
Considered inferior and always disrespected
Perceived as undecided
Hence my yes is understood as no
Thus disrespecting my feelings
Now am here, terrified, scared and ignored
And not one again.
