I am a lady.....

Many are my names

But I am the same

I am a lady.....

A daughter, a sister

A wife,a mother

A friend,a colleague

An employer,a neighbor

A helper,a teacher

Many are my names

But I am the same

A lady.....


I am characters of epic

Gargi,Maitreyee, Sita

Savitri,Draupadi and Taara

I set examples in history

I am queen of Jhansi,

Padmavati and Joddha

I carved niche for my bravery

Many are my names

But I am the same

A lady.....

I bear

I swear .....I bear the wear and tear

I hear the nonsense roar

I overhear and walk past

But I bear

I always bear the fruits

I am the creator.

Many are my names

But I am the same

A lady.....

I do contribute my share

I don't sit like a parasite

I keep giving in the best possible ways

I don't want to be a burden

Rather I share the burden of others

And keep mum

I never think of hurting others

But sometimes when things

Go beyond my capacity

I try to raise my voice

I do try to retaliate

But everything get in vain

I am not physically fit like you

I don't have masculine strength

So like every time you crush me to death.


Many are my name's

But I am the same

A lady.....

I feel hurt

I am made up of flesh and blood

I have my own sentiments

Can feel pleasure and pain

Why don't you give me my share of pleasure

Why do you snatch away my freedom

And bestow me with pain?

Time has come

I have to fight for my right

The right which I deserve rightfully

I won't sit silently

I won't zip my lips with silence

I will open up

I will empower me

With the power of Goddess Durga and Kaali

I will fight back

I will save me

And save my creation.

Many are my names

But I am the same

A lady.....
