N is for Namrata
she traced the little white dots on her wrist
there was a big ring-sized white patch on her elbow
her cheeks had even more
the forehead was dotted too
all her life she had hankered for fair skin
and now her wish had come true
Chitkabri- taunted the girls in school
tears galloped down her cheeks
mother kissed her tenderly
they are jealous-no one can be like you
you are the prettiest girl in town
with sun dappling your honey skin
don’t let others define you.
She smiled and wiped her tears and declared
I am beautiful.
