Cry Of A Woman

I came into your house

Eyes full of expectations,

Heart full of hope

Mind full of anxiety, thinking…

Can I in your house cope?

The first time I stepped into your house

Ah! It was heaven

Relatives fussing over me,

And to impress them all-

Oh! I was so keen

As the days passed by

I began to realize

This dream home of mine

Was not really a paradise

Which was set on cloud nine

I slowly began to experience

The value of a human life

This was in your house measured

In terms of money bought

By the wife

I was tortured and treated

Like an unpaid maid

But I couldn’t dare a question ask

For, "husband thy god"

Was this not what my mother taught??

Eventually I bore

All the bad that came through my way

Silently I wept

My heart out

Every passing day

Today I lie

In eternal rest

While my "family" mourned

Why, am I not the same woman?

You once renounced??

I agree I did not come

To your house with a lot of gold

But I had in me a heart

With all the love

You can hold

I wish and pray

That u maybe born again

As a woman, as a wife

And go through the same pain

And live in the same strife

Because, only then

Will you realize

The true worth

Of a WOMAN...

:)

I wake up in the morning

Grumbling about having slept for hours too few

But an unknown excitement fills me

As I walk towards the place I feel so belonged to

As I approach the huge college gate

A wave of joy surrounds me

And at that moment , I know

This is where I am born to be!

I walk along the corridors

Oh! Haven’t I done that many a time?

Chatting away with friends- and some foes too

A beautiful mixture life is, of sugar and lime

Yes, I can never forget the lecturers

Who try to impart us wisdom

But the notorious brats that we are,

Created everyday, a new problem

Friends- Ah! They make days worth living

Fun and laughter, tears of joy

Fights and break ups- times when emotions were treated like a toy

Love is in the air- and lots of it we are receiving

These days will never return

The glorious moments of my life

Tomorrow will see me in a new role

That of a woman, a mother and a wife!

thats all for now folks!! good night! :) :) :)
