Jasleen Kaur Khanuja Poems

Just like every other normal day, I stepped out of my house.
My eyes were filled with dreams and my mind was full of ideas.

I planned my day before I could plan my outfit.

What could be the biggest mistake humans can make?
Maybe using the pronoun 'she' or 'her'.
The years have changed but the face of monsters remains the same.
Earlier the tongs and hands now are the words and eyes.
...

I see the empty seats around me,

Who would have been sitting here if I pleased them a bit more?
...

The best thing about time is it's a great healer
What could be the worst? Can you name?
I would say, it's just the same.

I was born in a beautiful cage,
The cage that I called home.

The Best Poem Of Jasleen Kaur Khanuja

A Girl And A Monster

Just like every other normal day, I stepped out of my house.
My eyes were filled with dreams and my mind was full of ideas.

I planned my day before I could plan my outfit.
I was achieving milestones and I was happy about it.

I never thought about the concept of unpredictability,
So yeah, I was walking down the hills to prove my credibility.

With a smile on my face.
But something happened. Oh, wait.

I could hear the footsteps following me,
I wish I could turn around and see the face of my destiny.

I walked, I walked faster so that you can't chase me,
but in no time you were there to erase me.

I wish you covered my eyes so that I can't see the monster
taking away all my pride.

You rubbed your dirty hands on my soft and pure skin,
I was shouting for help Oh my lord where have you been?

The monsters were not interested in my beauty and intelligence
but in no time I figured out they had something to do with my femaleness.

The monsters spread my legs wide apart,
and I could see them destroying all my works of art.

Yes, I gave up.
I prayed to god to stop my heart from beating,

I prayed to the universe to freeze my blood in the veins.
I prayed for the monsters to burn me after their gain.

Some hours ago I was the happiest girl on the planet,
Now I am praying to be a dead bird.

Thanks to the monsters that burned me and my dreams alive.
Thanks to the universe to prove that humans are the cruelest species alive.
