Sita Unashamed
My story is no tragedy.
I Am no victim.
I Am no suicide.
I cannot be shamed,
blamed or abused.
I cannot be abducted or rescued.
My Virginity cannot be raped.
My purity cannot be sullied.
My loveliness cannot be marred.
I Am Inviolate, self-renewing!
My bright symbols of change
cannot be stolen.
My life-serving cycles
cannot be controlled.
