They say that its wrong

I had written this some time ago, and the Section 377 of Indian Penal Code that reinstates the ban on gay sex reminded me of this.
It may be a little off context, but anyways, here it is.


_____________________

They say that its wrong
When my heart flutters when I see a girl
A girl with eyes that make me forget the world
Whose dimples make me want to curl up in them
And be lulled to sleep with the sound of her voice.

They say its unnatural, pronounce it illegal
But it doesnt feel like that, at all
Whenever her hand brushes against mine,
Anything that ever mattered ceases to have importance.

But they tell me it is wrong,
They tell me I need help,
They say that its all in my brain,
They want me to be cured of this
To avoid what I feel by forcing myself to love boys,
To cure a fracture by jumping off a cliff
To cure a headache by beating my head against the wall.

They dont want me to be with her,
They dont want me to smell her hair when she sits by my side
To feel her lips caress mine
To feel her hands on me, down there, everywhere,
Is my love any different?

All I want is to love without fear
The fear of judgement, the fear of punishment
The fear that my own people,
People who are supposed to give me my rights
Will take them away as if they're taking a candy from a child
But I won't be quiet
Even if they don't want me to speak
