Let her look

Posted on by Reena Saxena

I often wondered what stops me – now I know
those accusing eyes, those barbed comments
redirecting unprocessed venom at me
her inadequacy she ceaselessly laments

those accusing eyes, those barbed comments
let her look; she loathes herself so much
her inadequacy she ceaselessly laments
now I know what I need to reject and eject

let her look; she loathes herself so much
I tell myself again – she is dead and gone
now I know what I need to reject and eject
deep imprints on the psyche left by foes

I tell myself again – she is dead and gone
I often wondered what stops me – now I know
deep imprints on the psyche left by foes
redirecting unprocessed venom at me

Let her look….
