She Will Struggle

She Will Struggle

After the intense pain of the mother for several months

Came in the world 'She'

Who was a tender part of the mother's heart

As pretty as the little spring blossom

Wanting to scale the world with her tiny little legs. 


Her first cry abated the mother's pain

But maybe for some, it was a thing most abominable

Abashed by their thinking

The mother had to make a choice, maybe the hardest of her life

But it was not for herself, it was for She. 


But before leaving for a new start, she fearlessly declared, that

'She' will struggle, 

But neither to

Make ends meet

Suppress her desires or crush her dreams

Mould herself according to family's conditions

Or give reasons for every need. 


Nor to take her husband as superior, 

Shut her mouth even when she's right, 

Make her life a living hell just to satisfy others

Or to make her ever-cheerful soul empty from the interior. 


Rather 'She' will struggle

To rise from this mud

Along with the other denied hearts

To become whatever she dreams of, achieve whatever she wishes for

So that she doesn't need anyone to get her going

And isn't considered the one who only lives for others

So that she doesn't have to bow her head in front of the male ego. 

Or is made a queen whose value remains only till the king needs or wants her? 


Mark my words..... One day... She'll fly high, high in the sky.
