Just after few days of her birth she was subjected to hatred.
No, she was not considered to be the princess rather
just because of her gender she was parted.
Masculinity never came forward that day
to rescue her from facing that distress further.
In that chilly winter night, on her way back to home,
some inebriated eyes were trying to hone
their lust, hatred,wrath or "immaturity" on her.
No, there was no one to show their masculinity.
On that time, it was her feminist self only that helped her rather.
From the very first month of her life
when her mother was her only support.
She used to play alone on the lap of her six year old sibling.
No, there was no sign masculinity that day to add up some vibe.
The day she found her friends are getting pampered for
their annual achievements in school.
She enjoyed the glee of good percentile alone
with her feminist self, there was no presence of masculinity to adore.
When all the teenager girls of her age,
frightened to see a hungry wolf out of its cage,
there was no masculinity present that day to boost up her courage.
Hot sweat, faster heartbeat and tensed situation which she handled alone
with her feminist self helped to increase her feminist rage.
Now-a-days people judge her for having stubborn behavior.
A pixie haircut lady who knows nothing but to abhor,
those masculine clan and every step a man makes.
But, you people will never understand how much it takes,
when an evil thought takes charge then a tender mind wrecks.
It's sad to know that there are still countries in this world that put a men and women on different levels. Just because you are born a female doesn't mean that you should have no rights... so sad...
ReplyDeleteYes, it is really very saddening fact to admit that there are still few people left in this beautiful world who are just reluctant to understand the equality.
DeleteI am good read about the poem. I feel the frustration and love the title of the poem. I hope women get treated well in India!

DeleteIt's the sad reality that women from different parts of the world have to face each day. We are being look down upon because of gender and we are never celebrated. I love how this poem tries to break the norm and fight back.
ReplyDeleteJust tried my best to portray the actual emotional turmoil a girl face while she undergoes through discrimination. I am so happy today to know that my words are making its way into the reader's heart.
DeleteThis poem made me feel quite sad about the world we live in, but also I celebrate strong women who believe we deserve more!
ReplyDeleteWe need to be vocal enough to convey our everyday highs and lows as a girl.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much dear. YOur words inspired me a lot. :)
DeleteThis is quite strong and touches on a serious matter. Women's rights and equality in some countries is still not where it needs to be.
ReplyDeleteEven in some countries it is worst than it can have been imagined. I feel so disturbed whenever I know about those struggles.
DeleteRaising a girl makes this poem so real and sad at the same time. Times are tough in that women are still not valued.
ReplyDeleteYes, and this is the actual saddening fact in this twenty first century.
DeleteThis is such a good poem to read. Very well written. It makes me feel so sad because of the world where we live.
ReplyDeleteHarsh reality makes our hearts heavy but we have to face every challenges to make our survival easier.
DeleteYour poems never fail to move me, I mean to make me feel deep feelings, and it is not sadness I feel today reading this. It is anger, and I understand on is not stubborn if one persists in the struggle one is TENACIOUS and PERSISTANT. Stubborn sounds negative, TENACIOUS is not!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for loving my work. :)
