I want people to turn deaf: English poem by Rafia Kamran

I want people to turn deaf,

So that I can scream my throat out.

I want them to turn blind,

So that I can cry my heart out.

I want them to shut their judgments,

So that I can take the mask out.

I want them to drop the swords,

So that I can pull the battle out.

I want mother to stop worrying,

So that from the world I can sneak out.

Rafiya Kamran
