She sometimes sits outside gazing at stars
Other times staring at the stilly night
When she is in this stupor
She never winks or looks at you
Doctors say there is nothing to do
That the blankness on her physiognomy
Will always be there
Whatever they say doesn’t faze me
Sometimes she sleep talks
Sometimes her face lights up with eerie glee
Nowadays people come just to look at her
Not to give us a word of hope
But to amuse themselves
Sometimes likening her to an ensemble
Their words don’t daze me
I know my sister as the sanest person there is
She loves loves talking to me
When sometime this thing recedes in the wind
She says she wants to get married
To have a family and lead a normal life
I wonder which man will truly love my sister
Who will view her defect as just a lovely quirk
She lives in a society that pretends to be flawless
Where barricades are made against those different
