I'M A WOMAN, SO I DIE.......

dedicated: to that innocent  five year old, who hardly knew the word "FCUK"!!

I’m a girl child, so I cry-

A prayer, not to kill me inside.

I’m a daughter, so I weep,

At all the freedom restricted to me.

I’m a girl, so I shudder,

At every extended hand of a lover.

I’m a woman so I fear,

Every shadow, love and care.

I’m a woman so I see,

With eyes of doubt, fear in me.

I’m a woman , so I talk,

In voice so low, not to grab their sight.

I’m a woman, so I hide,

Behind the veils, the curtains black.

I’m a woman, so I’m scared,

For me and my children ahead.

I’m a woman, so I know,

That to you age matters not.

I’m a woman, my hands tremble,

On that lonely road, at every rustle.

I’m a woman, I’m forced to see,

With looks of suspicion, even my life long friend he’ll be.

I’m a woman, so I withdraw,

Into the crowd, my identity not to be known.

I’m a woman , so I feel,

How that hug turns into places not to be.

I’m a woman ,so I scream,

In cries of silence, as u rip me.

I’m a woman, now I fear,

My own shadow, to me an eyesore.

I’m a woman, so it pains,

All the scars, u left open to drain.

I’m a woman, so i die,

In my own self, gasping inside.

I’m a woman, so i scream,

Seeing what’s left of me.....

But,

I’m a woman, I’m the goddess,

I’m the Lakshmi my grandma chants in her prayers.

I’m the light and joy of my house.

I’m the stupid one who runs around.

I’m the one who loves the mangoes raw.

The one who sings aloud with every song.

I’m the one who tries to fly,

Like those fishes, I’m the one who wanna dive.

I’m the one who chases the kites and falls,

The one to giggle and laugh all the time.

I’m the one who steals the fried chicken piece,

From the kitchen, when I’m sure no one would see.

I’m the one my father calls, “my First Lady”.

I’m the Queen in my mother’s dreams.

I’m a woman I’m a daughter,

A sister, lover , wife I’m a mother.

I’m a woman,I’m the one,

Who breathed life into you, while I died..

But I’m a woman....and so, I fear...................
