Analysis of Self-Imposed Punishment
When I was invisible
They praised
And admired me
And all my writing works
In their comments
When my identity was visible
They noticed
That I was not native
As they were
They even turned their faces
As they did not know me
As I was nothing
I felt and saw
Their real character
I just smiled
At all the colours and styles
Of the discrimination
I walked ahead
With no regret
Since you cannot regret
Any nature of the people
That's their destiny
The destiny
Of self-imposed punishment
On oneself to ablaze heart, mind
And soul of self-entity
It is Divine justice
No one can surpass that.
