Truth
A rush of embarrassment
as she came to know
about her 'uncovered'
bra strap.
Telling politely to the
shopkeeper to give
her sanitary napkins in
a newspaper wrap.
Somehow adjusting
in the crowded,
male dominating
local train.
Realising that it's
her duty for the
distance to maintain.
Dislikes herself for
being not so
attractive and
beautiful.
Being fair-skinned,
slim and soft has
become her life's rule.
Scale of beauty
over talent,
she still measures.
Societal comments
and taunts over her
is a huge pressure.
Who says present world
females are free
from captivity ?
Still their minds are
forced to fit in the box
of patriarchy.
