UNHEARD
UNHEARD


UNHEARD
Scared and trembled forging ahead
The thought of being killed , filled with dread
Waiting to take my first step on earth
Fragile emotions trapped without mirth
Overjoyed to be in your arms
The ethereal love of a mother without terms
Will learn to walk , holding father's finger
Falling at times being eager
But there lies an unspoken sphere
Thriving being hidden here
She's the creator on earth
Her incarnation has no worth
Maa Durga is an epitome of strength
But the birth of a girl child is a wrath
What if they know it's me ?
Will they let me live without plea ?
There's hatred for a daughter
People are ready for her slaughter
Women are worshiped in the sacred temple
But their never ending misery is ample
Begging to let me enter this world
And experience how things unfold
Conveying these unheard voices inside the womb
Mom , are you listening being numb ?
