I have a small nose,
I have small eyes,
My rest siblings says,may be I can hardly see through it,
My face is so different.
Born from same mother,yet not part of my siblings,and look different from the rest.
Yet not accepted by them.
I am in a war with my own siblings which is visible still invisible.
I have become neglected,rejected,untouched
In my own home.
I am quiet visible but still not visible enough in the eyes of rest of my siblings.
I try to fit in with my rest of siblings, but
I dont find a space, if it is given also
Yet not accepted by my rest of the siblings.
My mom says you are my child,
But my siblings says, no you are outsider.
I am in a war with my visibilty and acceptance.
I have grown up now,
Given a home but I have no place to stay there,
My rest of siblings has no time to take care of me,
They do not bother to see what happnening in my home,
I have been pushed in the corner in my own home, by outsiders,
Day by day they are increasing,
The one who is responsible for all our siblings,
He says you should accept more, no matter you suffer how worst you can,
I am in a war with my care taker to get a place some food and shelter at my very own home.
I am suffocating now,
Because my home is no more a home now,
But yes a dump zone, you can dump each and everything here and no one cares.
My mom is also quiet now may be ,
I have been forgotten long back by her.
I am in a war with my mom to make her remember me.
I got kids now,
They are beaten up, fired up, kick out,
Teased raped and killed by outsiders.
I am helpless I only look at them and cry in silence,
My childrens ask me why, tell us why we are not free at own home,
Why we do not have a place to sleep, eat and grow up well?
I am mumb,and shed tears.
They ask me why rest of our cousins tease us when we went to their home?
Why we are called chinki, chinese,and many more?
I have no answer to all these.
I am in a war now with my silence,
I am in a war to prove my existence.
I am in a war with this system and govt
Who neglected me,and made me invisible
Do you know Who am I?
I am North-East
And I am in a war with my visibility.
