Be A Woman

Be A Woman

Be a woman, they said

Decorate yourself everyday,

Carry a pleasant smile,

Women are meant to endure,

As we are the traders of folklore

Be a woman, they said

Handover your identity to fathers and husbands

And reduce your circle of friends

They are the tips for a long lasting marriage

You have to live in this beautiful mirage

Be a woman, they said

Keep a sharp eyes and a cold heart

You are going to play this victim part

Men are punished under laws

But your own court is with your in-laws

Be a woman, they said

Let not your clothing reveal

Let not your degree prevail

In the end your kingdom is in your kitchens

Until then don't lose yourself to all these fictions

Be a woman, they said

Never carry your own opinion

Men will always be your dominion

Etch this in your mind from the day you are born

For the upcoming years of forlorn

Be a woman, they said

Protect your organs as if it's a shrine

Later for one hungry inhumane lion

Decorate yourself as his delicate prey

Shred your thorns and be this unsullied rose and sway

I don't know

I am here with a messy bun and fiery eyes

Being a cactus and my heart, as cold as ice

Desperately looking for my identity

Fusing feminism and equality as a single entity

Wearing opinions like a clothing and

Clothing unworried of all those opinions

Trying to figure out where it all went wrong

Carrying the roots of humanity along

Without forgetting this hashtag

"NOT ALL MEN"...
