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
