Patriarchy is not her cup of tea
She doesn't understand the the pride of toxic masculinity
bring her the logics behind the rules of the beloved society
explain her why there is this level of hypocrisy

She's not allowed enter a temple while she's menstruating
let me tell you this blood is purer than the one from the violent bleeding
they'll say she's unpristine
for they don't the pain she bears since she were a teen

there are people who'll grope and eve tease random girls but will make their sisters feel secure
and how can she forget that random uncle on the street
who never hesitates to call her a piece of meat

if she births a 'ghar ka chirag'
she's the best wife one could've asked
but let her birth a daughter
then they will find all ways to have her slaughtered

She sometimes forget the fact that this is the same country which had swayamwar in its culture
and today let her reject a guy and she'll be ready to see him being a vulture
this is the same country which worships goddess Saraswati as the God of knowledge wisdom and learning
then why do we have so many uneducated girls yearning ;
Yearning to learn
and to be sent to school and be someone ;

someone other than 'his' daughter and 'his' wife
tell me why is she supposed to live like this all her life?
get married, birth her son and that's all for a woman to achieve
why does a woman should feel complete only when she conceives?

if she wants to have a career before she starts a family
she'll just be proved wrong and will be said this is not what she has to be
this time she has had enough
she want answers..why is that so tough?

This poem does not apply to everyone
Trust me, there is no exaggeration
Be glad to be part of the exceptions who do not have to go through this
I hope that everyone in this country becomes a part of the exceptions
I am extremely sorry if it hurts somebody's feelings for It wasn't meant

Thanks for stopping by 🌼
