You see my fully-covering dress, <br /> <br />And assume I'm a mess, <br /> <br />You catch a glance of my eyes, red, <br /> <br />Make stories of me, soon-to-be-dead, <br /> <br />You have been waiting too long, <br /> <br />Yet you're still so, very wrong. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />You hear my quivery whispering voice, <br /> <br />Gives you courage to mock and rejoice, <br /> <br />You watch me sit alone and cry, <br /> <br />Spread rumours without asking why, <br /> <br />You have been waiting too long, <br /> <br />Yet you're still so, very wrong. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />You wait to see me fall, <br /> <br />And hear my desperate call, <br /> <br />With poisonous words, you await on my choke, <br /> <br />You have been waiting too long, <br /> <br />Yet you're still so, very wrong. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />I dislike your feelings towards me, <br /> <br />I pity you for waiting, so long to see, <br /> <br />Waiting to watch me surrender to you, <br /> <br />And deny that my Way is indeed true, <br /> <br />You have been waiting too long, <br /> <br />Yet you're still so, very wrong. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />You want me to give in and finally say, <br /> <br />I believe and pledge faith to your way, <br /> <br />You want to create misery in my heart, <br /> <br />Far worse and sober than my rough start, <br /> <br />You have been waiting too long, <br /> <br />Yet you're still so, very wrong. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />I pledge my life, sacrifice all to Him, <br /> <br />The Lord, who has guided me away from following the dim, <br /> <br />I swear an oath of faith and surrender unto The One, <br /> <br />Who has given me courage to live on when I feel gone, <br /> <br />To make a mockery out of me, you have been waiting far too long, <br /> <br />Yet you're still so, very, very wrong...<br /><br />Rukhsar Ahmed<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-message-to-all-who-look-down-on-me/
