They say now its your new home, but they never feel it,
You are just a guest, you don't have a say so just don't complain about it.
You are asked for suggestions, but your decisions ignored,
Sorry but you were never on board.
He promised to make you feel affinity,
but you are not even in his vicinity.
You are good only when you are puppet,
No one cares even if you are upset.

Everything has become so different in a couple of months,
I have become the most beloved on all fronts.
But the mere thought of getting married,
Gives me goosebumps.
My heart starts pounding,
And my body becomes numb.

But just to become Mrs. from Miss,
I have to forego on all these?
Life would be so much different,
And every move so uncertain.

Responsibilities that I never took as a daughter,
Would be forced upon me, as a daughter-in-law.
My complaining mother will have nothing to nag about,
Seeing her daughter as punctual as a clock.

All these thoughts fills me up with anxiety,
That now I have to take care of a new set of relatives and a SOCIETY.

Now everyone would expect me to become the nicest,
But why they don't understand? I am still Daddy's little princess.

Yeah i know, overthinking won't help,
And even if i make any mistake, he willl be there to weld.

They always said 'Time changes things',
But this time 'submicroscopic infectious agent' changed everything.

Coffee at workstations, Hugging your close ones,
Your favorite pastimes, News channel's headlines,
Everything was changed in a blink,
Even before you could think.

No more you had a predetermined work-schedule,
And you were forced to cancel your tour.
Places to worship were shut,
And no restaurants were open to contaminate your gut.

But this pathogen has taught us some life lessons:
Family and relations are the most precious possessions,
Solitary confinement can bring in transformations,
We must value whatever we have on our plate,
We need to preach 'Humanity' and not hate.
Almighty has power to change everything that you have planned,
Humans, who considered themselves as 'Monarch of Mother Earth', are self banned.

This novel virus has killed many and has shut millions more inside with fear as their companion,
Its time to understand the value of compassion.

Yes, time has changed.
With locust band had moving in,
Cyclones devastating cities,
And humans losing their humanity.

Though this year has not turned the way we wanted,
But it has taught us great lessons for taking everything 'for granted'.

This lockdown has refashioned everything.

Not only our daily work schedules,
But reduction in pollution and demand of fuels.
Yes it made us shut our places to worship.
But has opened a window to evaluate our personal relationships.
Now queues outside restaurants and cinema is absent,
But we have got time to ponder on our future and relishing our present.

This lockdown has refashioned everything.

Definitely you cannot travel and be social,
But this has taught you to go 'Vocal for Local'.
Yes it has hampered the growth rate.
But now we value whatever we have on our plate.
We have been quarantined in our own homes,
But now we know life is more precious than thrones.

This lockdown has refashioned everything.

She was ready to conquer the world, expecting him beside,
But then she realised tide of his trust upon her has dried.
She was considered wrong in everything,
But how can a queen hurt her King?

She tried to prove everyone wrong everytime, he presumed,
And all her efforts to make his family hers was subsumed.
She was ready to change all her vice,
But can self respect be anything's price?

Definitely, she was fierce and revolting in some matters,
But it was not for anyone's bad but her better.
She was expected to change all her bads,
But why in every duo nothing is expected from lad?

When she is expected to trust, why his emotions can be confined to lust?
When she is expected to give every test, why a voice cannot be raised if he is not the best?
When he is revered and honored in her family,
Why she is not being counted in his family's "WE"?

Part of life that create beautiful memories,
When you have no worry and live with ease.
Neither you envy your peers,
Nor you know how to hide your tears.

When you have guts to follow your heart,
And if you dont like, you have choice to restart.
When you have excitement over a lost tooth,
And a pat from mother gives your soul a boost.

She was firm,
But she was told to be velvety.

She couldn't shed a tear from her eyes,
But she was told that its a trait of a "Lady".

She had self respect,
But she was told to bow down.

She wanted to chase her dreams,
But she was told that it's not her right.

She loved to flirt,
But she was told that she could only do it with one.

She knew how to fly,
But she was told that "It's not her wings".
