Good day mama, did you know?
my sanity suffered a heavy blow.

Hello mother, can you tell?
the way I used to perceive life has changed.

Well mum, did you notice?
I'm desperately trying to hide the fact
that I was violated by my own kin.

I need you Aai, I need you so bad,
I'm feeling desperate, hollow and helpless
as I curse this wretched "fate" of mine.

Maa... I have no one to rely on,
no one to confide in.
If anyone looked a little deeper into me,
they might see pieces of my heart breaking.

Spare my life.
I've been scarred for life.
Battling with this trauma,
it's a continuous fight.

"Give up your life."
My own self said.
Many a times, by this opinion
I was swayed.

But Amma, I hanged on that
little string of hope
That I still had you with me,
When everyone seems distant and mean.

And so mamma, for you and only you,
I'll pretend I'm content and happy with my life and every morning when I'll wake up...
I'll start my day with my "usual smile".
