It's always worth it

Respect a woman... you never know that smile of hers might be hiding thousands of pains.

She saw the grass

Which was around her

On top of brown land

It looked like green fur.

 

She just sat there alone

With no soul hovering

It felt like the world,

Was behind a covering

 

The darkness in the night

Made it even worse

She felt as if

It was some sort of a curse

 

The wind was blowing

Just against her face

She could feel the strangeness

In every single place

 

It was a moonless night

With no stars in the sky

She felt so broken that

A tear rolled down her eye.

 

Not even a finger did she move

But just sat there and thought

Of all the times she spoke up

Or all the times she fought

 

She screamt out so loud

And banged her fist in distress

And wondered why God

Had made her life into a mess

 

She asked herself

That why was she born a girl

Wasn't she supposed to be,

Her family's little pearl?

 

She wasn't treated like her brother

Who was the king of the house

Because in front of a man

She was even less than a mouse

 

She was denied further education

At sixteen, a tender age

And forced into marriage

Feeling trapped like in a cage

 

She couldn't think of just

Becoming someone's wife

So she looked around for help

And found a sharp knife

 

When she held the knife

The atmosphere was filled with mist

The knife was just a centimeter away

From cutting off her wrist

 

As tears rolled down her eyes

She looked high up top

Something happened and she dropped the knife

That something made her stop

 

She rose and stood up

Shaking her head

She said to herself

She cannot be dead

 

She took a brave step forward

And walked quite a bit

Until she decided that

She was never going to quit

 

She ran and ran and ran

From that place worse than hell

Because inside she knew that

She deserved to be treated well

 

Years have passed by

But she still stands strong

For she has fought a battle

Which lasted very long

 

Today she is successful

And stands out in a crowd

Because she believed in herself

And made herself proud

 

Today she has the courage

To stand tall and say

That she is a woman

And takes pride in being that way

 

Life hasn't been easy for her

She has toiled and worked hard

She protected herself from everything

For she was her only guard

 

She said, "Life will throw you into problems

And you will have your bad bits

But in the end you will realize

It’s all going to be worth it."
