Family
Born a daughter
Never could see light
she is fated so and culture be it
Nothing's at her reach
gadgets never at all
they say used too much
locked under control
gain it once in life.
To order your Mom
listen your Dad
Never could in mom's eyes
could drape yourself
in your desires.
Never could I.
None of your parents
could leave you with own decisions
Until they feel so.
U feel the frustration of life
Too bad feels on life
Sometimes been praying
what if it just finished off.
Age so young the youth be called
age of education
where she learnt studies can gain
only you identify
the people needn't know nothing
but how you excel
she is taught to be so
to make her independent financially
but primarily educated through books and marks
believed or made to be so
contents she learnt is truth
Never known them
could just an interpretation it be
like her brains are used to
those methods of listening
lacking disruptive thinking
the educational board said
qualified graduates and students
in flying colours were they
proudest moments to people
she could be the future's expectations
She in passive mode could see
the sight of mind
has travelled through darkness
Dreams in name only
was on rent in the house called earth
underneath some people she named be guardian
Once asked of it on will
its not the way of better living they advised
Settlement through studies is better for a girl
Her marks are her identity
Nothing's wanted to be valued else
no college no work place
minding our own business
Fears they face that could lose another
Been silent years long
move as world takes us
competing the confronters
Self thoughts rose to peak
money minded business minded beasts.
Patriarch binding
Thoughts to freedom, peace and happiness
games played of hide and seek
cheated her and flew away
Doomed with changes
unadjusted too badly
never could she reciprocate
those days squandered
her dreams desired
simply lie as name
a past simply
could she just think it off
