I am courage and the world calls me Rakhshi



I listen and listen and listen



To the corner gossips everywhere



They have been back biting



Back biting about my appearance



Fearless, tireless And restless



With the passion that of a rebel



I have coped up



all sort of hatred,



surrounded by strangers



Once used to be my well wishers.



At every door I knocked



And every person I met



I came out a stranger to them



for, over love



I will and have



Always chosen right



Cowards are those



Who see my actions



A threat to their masculinity



And a negative influence to their culture.



I listen and listen and listen



but backbiting is unethical!!!



Why don't you come meet me



Don't fret



I am both patience and courage



and the world calls me



Rakhshi
