I Am Not Your Babe

 




So, you’re going to shame me now,
Shame me for what—for trying to act like you all
In those moments of frustration?
While I read about sticking to morals
When all I saw were immoral things swirling around me—
I let some of it consume me, I admit it.

And now, you’re going to call me a failure,
Because I don’t fit your narrow definition of success?
Be that as it may, I’d rather cry and scream right now,
Because I’ve had those haunting dreams—
Dreams that shred the nights open with their claws.

At least by falling in front of you all,
I can say it proudly now, without guilt or a tremble in my voice:
I AM NOT YOUR BABE.

So, go ahead and make fun of me for my boundaries,
Do it loud and clear, laugh at me if you dare.
But at least I’m not pretending to be moral and pure
In front of your mothers, your wives, and society,
While hiding sins under polished smiles.

Guys like you, who asked why I hadn’t watched porn,
Because you can say it all freely, right?
And then you act wise and good in front of your wives.
Married folks sending me messages when your women are away.

You hide the fact that you call me sexy, call me babe
When it suits you, and then turn around
To cast me as the problem, the nutjob, the fool.
Call me crazy, call me a psycho,
But you all have twisted sides of your own,
Sides you try to keep in the shadows.

So go on, laugh at me as much as you like.
But know this: I represent the darkness in you,
The parts you hide behind the masks of decency,
While you treated me as a secret pleasure.

Laugh all you want, mock me with your hypocrisy.
I am not your shame to carry.
I am the mirror you avoid,
The truth you bury deep—
I am your own dark side, laid bare.

Polished Sins

  A suit and tie, that polished smile, Covering up sins stacked mile by mile. They flaunt “new love,” someone else’s child— A ready-made story, perfectly styled. They’ve “levelled up,” or so they preach, But on someone’s pain, they made their reach, With vows of loyalty, words so neat, While another’s screams lie beneath their feet. Oh, they “moved on” to brighter skies, Leaving someone broken, with silent cries. They mount new heights, they shout and boast— Scaling peaks on another's haunted ghost. So smile for the camera, flash your pride, Show off the life that you tried to hide. For we know the truth beneath your gleam— A hollow show, a self-made scheme.

Stay Away

Stay away, stay away Keep those hands away Stay away, stay away I am not on display Stay away, stay away I just want my name on the hard black clay Stay away, stay away I am a kid who just wants to play Stay away, stay away All these memories are like a never-ending screenplay ~ Kanika Kaushal ✨ The Luminous Muse

Model Men and Their Modern Myths

  Here come the men who love their pride, With “culture” on speed dial, their mothers beside them. They want a wife who’ll light the lamp, While they scroll through pages of virtual vamp. They call themselves leaders, oh so wise, But sex ed is a topic they just despise. If you ask them about anatomy's flow, They’ll stammer, then boast about paychecks to show. Progressive now, they’ll have you believe, Because daughters study, and daughters leave The home to work—but don’t go too far, Or they’ll pull you right back by some invisible bar. They crave the respect, the honour, the fame, Yet when faced with real talk, they’re quick to shame. These "modern men" with their ancient views— One foot in the past, and the other confused. Oh, fools of entitlement, kings of the mud, With egos so fragile, they’re bound to flood At the slightest nudge of applied insight— They’ll laugh, then pull you out of their sight. So here’s to these men, these leaders so grand, With “values” in one, ...
