not safe in my city

happy i was
for a new beginning awaited me
i was happy as i was
nearer to my dreams

with excitement and some anxiety
after sometime i boarded a bus in my city
to reach my college on its first day
and s i was on my way

i still remember how comfortably
how easily and fearlessly
almost as if rightfully
those hands felt me

i was disgusted,helpless and afraid
the crowded bus was his aid
i was angry and tearful
but mostly fearful

i tried to hit him
i tried to run away
i was helpless and he
shameless and unafraid

i tried all i could
in hope stop he would
but my suffering ended
only with the journey

and i was shocked
and almost shattered
the man who had stalked
me, to him it did not matter

but i have this fear
at nights have this tear
the incident had shook me
and though it was not first time
that this way some bloody dog took me
but i fear every day and night

and sometimes in nightmares i fight
with shameless men who think they have right
on every woman who pass by
but i still don't have fearless nights

though it happened to me before too
but i could really not get over through
the plight i suffered that day
and though i travel in bus each day

i can never travel fearlessly
as i don;t feel safe in my city.
