Don't let her fade away .

Don't let her fade away.

No one can see the pain in her eyes when she is teased by some stranger guy.
The fear of living in  an unsafe society  ,no one can feel it .
As the sun goes down her heart sinks .
She is quite and polite .
She is designed in such a way .
And you think she doesn't  have a voice .
You think you can do anything with her .
Stop her by controlling and dictating her life .
She leaves her  heart home  not to be your servant .
She is crushed in the husband shoes .
She is controlled by the family .
She is pulled down by her own .

She who can't walk freely on the streets .
As  the eyes of many pierced her body .
And yet she ignores and walk off .
She is not anybody's doormat .
She is even killed before she is born .
She who is rejected and burn for dowry .
Is that the punishment of being a girl .
I am angry .
Even the tears could not melt the heart of stone .

She doesn't need your sympathy , she needs your respect.  
Where is she safe, nowhere, not anywhere .
Why do we forget, she was made of Adam's rib and in father's image .
She was made equal .
Then why do we put limitation 
Why do we say she can't do it . 
Why she has to hide .
Why do we discourage her so much.
Why do we try to control her .
If I have a daughter in future, I will not want such a fear for her. 

My heart cries and is broken inside, ain't yours after listening to their stories . 
Let her choose  , let her decide . Stop being her God .
 Don't let her fade away .
Don't let her fade away , don't take away her identity .
She is created to be honoured . 
She is to be protected .
Don't let her fade away .
Don't let her fade away .
