I wish I was a son
I wish I was a son
I was not born,
I was killed in my mother's womb.
I could not see this beautiful world,
Just because I was a girl!!
They inquired about it even before I was fully developed,
They didn't even wait for me to come up.
I was waiting to clasp momma's hand,
I was waiting to sleep on my father's lap,
I hoped to see my grandma's face,
Who narrated the tales.
I wanted to hold my grandpa's hand,
And see my brother whom you introduced me as a friend.
But nothing came true,
Because I was killed before I grew.
I can feel tears in mumma's eyes,
I am sorry mom, for carrying me you have paid a huge price.
I just wanted to bring you joy,
I wished to play with all those toys.
But I have only brought you pain,
I wish I was a son!
