The Youth With A Voice

Khushi Madan

Dear Society,


Lately I’ve been trying to understand

The actual meaning of your taunts

Why you say and do certain things

Which to me it certainly haunts


You seem to be too bothered

About the length of my dress

What time I reach home at night

Shouldn’t be your headache and stress


If you expect me to act maturely

You gotta stop treating me like a child

Your screams, shouts and taunts

Are simplygonnaget me more wild


Don’t tell me I’m too bold and bossy

Just because I have an opinion of my own

Don’t try to mute down my voice now

Because I’ve found my own sound and tone


Don’t try to shush me down

When I question your authority

To know what’s going on around me

Is my right and also a priority


Don’t talk negative about my generation

Just because we didn’t give in to your mentality

We preached to always love one another

Irrespective of caste, creed, colour or sexuality


Don’t push me into looking a certain way

Let me embrace my sense of individuality

Let my uniqueness speak for itself

I don’t wish to be a part of the herd of popularity


Don’t try to prove to me that

Women must face inferiority

Because that time has long gone

And now it’s all about equality


Don’t tell me I’m too thin or fat

Or taunt me due to my weight or complexion

The way I am and the way I look

Is the reflection of God’s creation


So Dear Society,


Let’s broaden the horizons of our minds

Because I want to be heard when I speak

I’ve been blinded and muted enough now

My emotions are done playing hide and seek.


Let my life and decisions

Besolely my choice

I speak for thenationsyouth when I say

“We are the youth with a Voice”
