SHE & SOCIETY
 Sep 2021 ---
Benzene
She opened her eyes and looked at the sky
The sun was on the high, the heart throbbed to fly.

The society never accepted her
Nor left any chance to slur
But they pulled her back
Making her realize there's something she lacks.
.
She has a heart of gold
But she was emotionless and cold
All the time lonely and sad
To call someone her own- nobody she had.

Pitying her own situation
Day by day getting into depression
.
Never did they understand
Nor did they lend a helping hand
She still stood bold
Hiding the pain in multiple fold.

BUT
One day She encountered a child
For the first time in a while she smiled
for the child didn't judge her
and it really doesn't matter

It was like she got the Heaven,
her agony has lessen
She was happy
as she put the child to sleep with a lullaby

I’m not a guru
nor a teacher
I’m only a light
when you’re feeling
dark and cold!

I cast my net
                  into the tributary

and release into you, a seasonal swim,

I give to you a mother's color,
        as you recite
        infant hymns,

                    you're a bleeder
on the days sunfire meters out its origin,
                    you're my river

free and clear from the grip

      of anchorage,

                         my river,

drifted on to wherever
                       moon wishes glister
