Women are ‘Peer’ not ‘Poor’

Gazing high at the sky;

I used to cry

Is there a world for me?

That can give me all the glee

No, 'freedom' is not the right term

It has been the biggest germ

Since childhood, I have been asked to obey

And I have learnt to look at everything  as ‘Okay’

I quest for freedom of expression

Without worrying about the outcome

Being a daughter, being a wife

And being a daughter-in-law

I am meant to undertake the onus

And bound to do the chores

If I ask to be loved

Why I have to be mum

If I wish to be pampered

            Why I have been overlooked

Give me the pure joy of expression

As I am a human with emotion

Being a woman can make me feel blessed

Only when the men will not be obsessed.

Yes, I am proud to be a woman

And one day you will have to!

You Will Be Missed…

Never knew one day my writing calibre will contribute to write about you! Every day, I missed you since the day you have left us. Still cannot believe you are not around us. Numerous memories still chase me and make me realize how valuable the bond we shared!

 Not only brother and sister; 

              But also hope and fear!

 Hoping you company;

             Regretting your departure!

Expecting your peace;

            Fearing your restlessness!

Wishing you to be around;

             Scaring of the reality!

I know missing you too much will only bring tears but I have not learnt to suppress these emotions. Time has brought me a long way; leaving childhood & teenage behind, I have turned into a responsible member of the family but without you, I do not want to be anything. May your soul rest into peace!

Honey! You will be missed forever!

Dedicated to my younger brother!
