Don't Be the Cause of My Panic Attack

   Don't Be the Cause of My Panic Attack

From childhood, I’ve been through a lot,

Faced discrimination, partiality, and life’s trauma.

My parents were my true heroes—

They never disappointed me.

Don't be the cause of my panic attack.

I’ve heard people talk behind my back,

Spreading rumors about my family and my life.

Things were tough, but I never slept on an empty stomach.

Don't be the cause of my panic attack.

In my village, in my childhood, they called me Kaali, Kaali...

At school, those abusive words followed me,

Becoming the reason for my panic attacks.

I felt ashamed to be in social gatherings.

Don't be the cause of my panic attack.

At least you—stay by my side, love me.

Take care of my broken heart.

I hope you never repeat those abusive words,

Never make me relive that pain.

I want to spend the rest of my life with you.

I’ve sacrificed so much already.

Don't be the cause of my panic attack.
