WOMAN.
WOMAN

A child is born,
SHE is born,
A girl is growing up,
Dreaming of her dreamy future.
She grows up, finds the reality of the world,
A woman is formed,
Not of her dreams but of the dreads of this societal realms.

She is always the problem, the issue,
She is the one who is not allowed to make mistakes,
She is the one with the responsibility of others,
She is the one who has to hold the strings to keep things from falling apart,
but guess what when they do, she is always the one to be pointed out.
She has to be the perfect person,
She needs to be the well mannered person,
She has to be the one who needs to control her desires
and not just hers but also of the people, specifically the Men around her.
She is not allowed to be her, the herself because if she does she is definitely going to be the bad girl.

She has to sacrifice, in the name of compromising for the family
She has to give up her dreams, her identity and even herself to fit in as a perfect picture for a family.
She cannot wear what she wants,
She cant be wearing her comfortable clothes because if she does she is mannerless and the show off girl trying to prove her worth by doing that to the world.

They scare her,
They tell her to be the quite, shy and silly one,
The one who never questions up,
The one who always needs to be ready for the services of the others.
She is always the problem, her way of laughing, walking, eating and what not she is always being judged of for them.

She is responsible for a man to control his desire based on what she decides to wear,
But why does she anyways get touched, and sexually assaulted even if she wears full clothes, even if she covers her face and heck even if she just of age eight.

She is always being controlled,
She is always told to loose weight,
She is always needed to have perfect skin,
She has to have the perfect figure and hair too,
She needs to have a educational degree, but to just sit and do the household work.
She is always trained like that,
She is controlled in a way like that,
YOU have to be that, because you are women, a girl, be like the one,
Said one woman to another women,
Said a mother to her daughter,
Said the society to HER,
Because she is the WOMAN.
