Since the day she is born, her family torn

Because they need to bear the burden of a Girl Child .

The extra care , they need to provide, to protect the body of a Girl Child,

The money they need to spare, for the dowry of a Girl Child.

My innocent little Girl, this world doesn't deserve you.

Don't come here , where you are either killed in the womb or your life is a living tomb.

Let this cruel World know , the importance of a Girl Child.

Title- Your Absence

Your Absence is weighing me down, it feels like stones on a crown...
The nights are long , my bed is cold .
They say time heals all wounds , then why are mine still sore...
I feel lost in your absence, no peace can I find,
Your smile , your touch , your funny ways,
How can I leave it all behind....
People come and people go,
And I try to go with the flow,
Your absence grows deeper with each passing day,
I've tried to fill this hollow ,in more than one way....
I pray to God , for a divine sign,
I wish ' your absence ' never existed,
In this life of mine...
