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"...
