My fate

I just closed my eyes 

Letting the tears fall

With my soul shaking

My dream would be crumbled under my own feet,

the moment I would step out

With this heavy attire chocking my frame 

Heading towards a whole new life 

I have no idea about 

Standing beside the person I have never even said a word to 

Yet here we are here, bound in a lifelong pious relation,

we have no idea about 

My whole existence shivers

Only thinking about the new world, I am being thrown into 

I feel like a bird 

Thrashing inside a cage

Trying to get free 

To spread her wings wide

High into the blue sky 

And my mom would whisper 

"Shh!! It's your fate, accept it, my child"

In my ears, as if scared someone might listen 

Like the flower, wilted yet intact in its place

Surviving due to that one petal alive 

I would stand there 

Breathing air with my heat turned stone

And soul ashened.
