She Learnt To Be In The Cage

She opened her little eyes

And saw the splendid light

Her protector, now was the world for her

Whose touch brought all comfort for her.

The purest form of love

Was all she could explore

She was assured and felt secured

In the arms of the mother.

She smiled at all

And got some smiles in return

As the days passed on

She explored new relations.

She was young for the old,

For the elders she was small,

She was different from the boys

As she was born as a girl.

Slowly did she learn

The rules of her age

And soon she was found

In a strongly built cage.

Invisible was the cage

But strong were the bars

She felt restless as she grew

And her heart was full of scars.

She could sense impotence everywhere

To her utter dismay

She learnt to be in the cage

And wait for her day...
