If I was a boy,
I would have flied more high,
I would have all the rights of witnessing my own desires,
I would have choices to choose something for which now I always cry,
I would have atleast some liberty to sit alone in the darkest room where my heart lies.
If I was a boy,
I would have never asked that why was I late coming home even after knowing that it's storming bad,
I would have never asked to leave studies and work as a maid in my own homestead,
I would have never asked that are you well matured and ready to marry an unknown guy,
to have childrens at the age of just 18 when I used to say myself that I am small little cutie pie.
If I was a boy,
those 5 days of periods wouldn't have been a penalizing act,
labour pain wouldn't be a part of my existence.
If I was a boy,
I would have never gone through restrictions of dressing, behaving, keeping a proper body shape, of looking beautiful and lovely, of learning only and only cooking and household work,
of prefering family and house in front of my own career.
If I was a boy,
night would not have been threatening and murderous,
keeping my own self safe and begging for self respect wouldn't have been a preferance in front of rapist and molesters.
Maybe my life would have been a better option.
But no doubt we are humans infact boys have their own issues and restrictions.
Being no one is easy and no one is difficult,
but the universal truth is that in this society boys have better options and luck, mainly freedom to live more as compared to girls.
But I'll make it one day,
I'll take is as a blessing being a girl.
