SHE
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".
She patriarchy dreams women
You're not a mirror
You're not a books

Even not a songs
And not a portrait


Yet  you inspired me
Set a fire inside


Lost but now found
My soul strengthen


Awaken and alive
Through, the words to ponder


Seen myself again
Boastful ends


So, when you stand
I give an ears again.

— The End —
