I was dropped on your lap my mother Just as my father, grandfather, great-grandfather And yet you detest me, my mother, For who I am. Yes,I was dropped on your lap as a cursed Miyah, my mother. You can&rsquo;t trust me Because I have somehow grown this beard. Somehow slipped into a lungi I am tired, tired of introducing myself To you. I bear all your insults and still shout, Mother! I am yours! Sometimes I wonder What did I gain by falling in your lap? I have no identity, no language I have lost myself, lost everything That could define me And yet I hold you close I try to melt into you I need nothing, my mother. Just a spot at your feet. Open your eyes once mother Open your lips Tell these sons of the earth That we are all bothers. And yet I tell you again I am just another child I am not a &lsquo;Miyah cunt&rsquo; Not a &lsquo;Bangladeshi&rsquo; Miyah&nbsp;I am, A Miyah. I can&rsquo;t string words through poetry Can&rsquo;t sing my pain in verse This prayer, this is all I have.
