Poem: #Girl

Their was the day when I was born

He was standing right there

I was told stories of dismay

I brought their way

Ideas shredded to pieces

Expectations torn

He saw dreams

Those blue dreams and

coiling around him was the patriarchy

He couldn't hold my feeble body

As I was strong enough to shatter

All those dreams which matter

They hailed out "Laxmi"

Yet my mother wept like a sinner

She brought someone like her

Who wasn't expected yet came

A bunch of disappointments yet a WINNER.
