    VITILIGO- A SKIN DISEASE, NOT A STIGMA


    Should I be Black?
    Should I be White?
    Can I be Both?
    Striving to find these reasons,
    With my Patchy Hands;
    Learning to deal with my Painless Treasons,
    Along with my Countless Blotchy Blands.

    I am Humiliated, I am Shattered,
    I am alive, more like a Living dead;
    Who cares for me? Noone at all
    Even for myself, I accepted my fall.

    I am a fool! Waiting for some Care,
    I am hoping for someone to Dare;
    Touch me, but hug me more,
    But no-one will try, I swore.

    And now I have learned the Farce,
    Along with these spotted marks;
    Yes, I have Vitiligo, but it's not the fault,
    It's your Ostracisation which Pain is the result.

    You mock at the Blotches of my skin-
    The shapes of Peninsulas on my Hands,
    Australia around my Nose,
    Africa on my Eyes and
    America around my Lips.

    And I just smile
    Pondering over the Certitude that
    If the Words You Spoke,
    Appeared on your face;
    Would you still be Beautiful???
