Hear from me

My cry is not for freedom

I just want to be me

If they call it freedom

I have no issues with that

 

No doubt,

I have gone through alot

Don’t write my story

Without asking me

 

Why do you make my story

Without me

You made me doubt my existence

May be, I am not me

 

Do me a favour

Wait for me

Hear from me

So you can tell my real story

This poem is about: 
My country
