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

Hmmm you bring up a great point when you say that if she would have shouted back that one day her life would have gone a different way. It is imperative to find one's voice. Nicely inked.

[Tomoe Tellez]

You have created a very strong message. 100 points

[AvidYogi]

Your poem clearly expresses how a woman is an epitome of love and sacrifice. No matter the age she stays the same. She never complains and her love never fades. You did a wonderful work conveying this bold message. Hope your message gets to everyone so that more people, specifically men, starts respecting women! :)

If she shouted back that one day
Her life would have gone a different way

She is not weak, but a divine woman.
Women's life is not so bigger. It is all around with those person. She believes in them but never cares for own. Whenever she did this attention the way will go in different direction. She have to her own rights and will.
Good things are they are waking now....
A great piece friend. True picture of backward thought. A hammer on them.

i just want to change the way of thinking..and bring men and women to an equal level...

[Saddam]

I think you are doing right.
We all have to change our settled mind.

i read somewhere beauty of poetry is to comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable

[Saddam]

That's right.
Effective way to show the truth.
