She was weak

It is the poem emphasising on the male domination in society

She was born

You didn't want a girl at all 

She was 4 and 

Now she looks like a little doll 

She was 10 

Nobody told her about love 

She was 12 

She was learning to light a stove 

She was 15 

You kept her in the walls 

She was 18

In love she falls 

She was 21 

Her choices were not listened 

She was 23 

You gave her to a rich son 

She was 25

 Now in laws had the throne 

She was 26 

 She was already with a kid 

she was 36 

Her boy was now growing splendid 

She was 45 

Her husband complained 

She was 50 

Now a widow crying in pain 

She was 60 

Now her son shouts 

She was 70 

He threw her out 

All life she served everyone 

Her father, her man, her son 

No one shouted but silence did the trick 

But after all she was weak 

If she shouted back that one day 

Her life would have gone a different way

[Eliot Knight]

Ugh, I feel you. Truly is a terrible fate unfortunately of many of the women. I do believe giving this poem effort and care could turn it into a masterpiece since it is quite strong. I hope you will consider.

Very deep and true. I feel the frustration in your writing as you try to get your story across. And you did. Nicely done!

Much love,

lovely piece Kajal. Women often forget their own identity in serving people around her and yet the same fail to appreciate her deeds.

[Divya]

Very nicely written. You mostly write about women empowerement

[Arman Chulbul]

Emotionally described "a girl, a bride, a mother, a old lady". Really touchable thing. It is darkness of world that they are not watching these things. But keep writing on these topics, surely the dark world will listen you, You are precious for this world because you are writing for "a girl, a bride, a mother, a old lady"

Thank you armaan

You have voiced the anguish of many such oppressed women who continue to suffer despite 69 years of our independence. A sad reality. :( A very powerful poem indeed.
