An Open Letter To Society

By Riya Dhiman

Dear Society,

Why do you judge? Why do you stare?

Why do you discriminate? Why do you compare?

This is me, my body, my complexion, my style.

There is no point for you to glare.

My size, shape, colour and appearance.

All that doesn’t need your clearance.

I am happy and proud of myself

Absolutely don’t need your interference.

When you question others looks & personality,

you actually violate their dignity.

Let us be little sensible and

show some respect and sensitivity.

If you say I am fat — do I ever come to you to ask you for food?

Ok, I am thin-but do I ever come to you to ask for some supplements?

You said dark? Oh — but do I ask you for my facial treatments?

My complexion, height, body type is only for me.

Only person who should be happy or sad about all this

is ME and only ME.

Next time you can discuss my skills, intelligence and education.

And, then you might make an evaluation.
