UNSPOKEN WORDS OF THE HURT CHILD

Hi
We receive so many mails every day. The following is one of the mail which touched our heart.
SONY AND SURAJ are an awesome couple who have been with us in this work and we took our work to Manyata tech park.The mail was something that touched all our hearts that we want to share.




Below is a verse I put together when I took some time and reflected on the feelings of betrayal and intense trauma a child subjected to abuse has to undergo. This made me realize how important the work that Srishti life does means to a lot of children. 


"I wanted to laugh, I wanted to cry
And one day even reach out for the sky and fly
But then you did nasty things to me on the sly 
And made me vulnerable and on my innocence did pry

You made me weep when you behaved like a creep
And sometimes made me wish I got eternal sleep
What you have done has damaged me inside deep
This agony and sorrow I will for a lifetime have to keep

I remember there was no lightning and thunder 
On the day you turned my existence to a blunder 
From that moment my life went asunder 
That I am still here in itself is a wonder

All this happened in my world while my parents were busy making money
They said they were working hard for me their lovely honey
While the things happening with me I felt were not funny
There were only dark clouds in my horizon and the way was no longer sunny

Sometimes I feel like an animal in a cage 
And then there are times I fly into a rage
As to why my life's book has this page
What was my mistake that I had to burn at this stake

It is unfortunate my life has had to come this miserable way
But please make sure your child does not have to see a similar day
We need to provide our children with a secure environment and care 
And together let's all the responsibility share"

Best Regards,
Suraj
