Tears rolled down my cheeks
I don't know when
I don't know why
All that I knew
Was that this is a trench
I dug for myself
A soldier
That went AWOL (Absent without Leave)
Once outside the War room
Forgot my brief
Now having been tagged by the brazen enemy
Browbeaten and shamed
I should be ready to be court martial-ed
But I am NOT GONNA BE
A CASUALTY
In this WAR
The soldier licks his/her wounds
But never abandons battle
After I recoup
I shall get back to the battle terrain
And seize control
A war is not lost until the last bullet is fired...

Undated
I have an innocent understanding of this world. Believe in it and it shall be true to you. Hold it in the palm of your hand and look at it benignly and it shall envelop you and cherish you, nurture you.
Regard it as your own and it shall keep you in its fold protected.
Was I wrong?
Could I have behaved any differently had the circumstances or people involved been different.
My life had always been swept away by the currents. I have adapted to the times, in fact, I am a reflection of the times.
To love and to be able to love without a single doubt crossing your mind is not a sin.
To want to partake of that love is it sin?
I have been true and I am true to myself and to the ones that love me, purported to love me or claimed to love me.
Is it wrong to believe in human beings, trust in the word, trust that men of honor and noble men are not a rarity but could be a possibility.
Yes! You say I fell prey to some man's machinations.
That I fell prey to lust.
Let it be infatuation.
But for me it was love at that point of time.
Did I take precautions that I would not fall pregnant?
No, I did not!!
But would I keep the child were I to fall preggers?
Yeah, I know, you would consider me frivolous if I told you I would take medical recourse.
Tell me, except in fairy tales and tales of Sages and Saints, no woman needs to follow through what she does not want to.
You think me cold, so be it.
I know who I am, I am not gonna live by your judgment calls.
These days more than 70% of teen pregnancies that are made in haste go into the abortion room and not the labor room.
By that token, half of the teens must be murderers.
In fact, I'd rather my kid does not pay for my mistakes or faults.
I'd rather have a kid when I am more capable of handling my own life and when I am on my own feet, independent and better able to take care of myself and my responsibilities.
You call it shunning, I call it reality, I call it pragmatism.
