WOMEN'S DILEMMA

 

Today, when I looked into the mirror,

A Young girl's face stared at me,

instead of my image.

A young girl known to me!

A young girl -I used to be once!

That girl asked me￾what have you done to me

and to yourself?

I did not understand and

stood perplexed.

The young girl then asked me,

What have you done to my dreams ,

and yours?

Dreams? had I ever had them?

If I had any -

life made me forget them.

I have always been a good daughter

and a better daughter-in-law.

I have always been a good sister

and a better sister-in-law.

An obedient wife and

an understanding mother.

While I donned the many roles

and tried to play them to perfection.

I forgot to be good to one person

ME!

While I helped others to realize their dreams,

I forgot the Dreams that really mattered,

My dream of being a writer.

That girl's face haunted me

all through the day.

Really!

what have I done to her dream?

My dream! 

NOTHING - I just let it go!

and forgot about it -

but now

I have woken up and took charge of my life
