WHITE LIES
You put a mask on me and made me someone else. you lied to keep me from knowing my real name. You cut off my hair, tried to teach me to be a snob, favored me over my darker brother. You watched me wonder why nowhere felt like home, but you knew no mercy, only fear. Your futile game of secrets is over. No matter what you say, I am Hindustani-and India my only mother!~Broken Wings~ More Poems By Broken Wings Kavitanjali © All Rights Reserved Do not copy
You cut off my hair, tried to teach me to be a snob, favored me over my darker brother.
You watched me wonder why nowhere felt like home, but you knew no mercy, only fear. Your futile game
of secrets is over. No matter what you say, I am Hindustani-and India my only mother!
