Woman

Rise like the fire, for you are the snow
With all the desire to evolve and grow.
No sacrifice you are born for
You are born to lead the herd.
You gotta run like a lady
Been a while, you walked too slow..

No “eyes down and swallow”, anymore.
Stand up for yourself, you set the rules
This time, because you were not created
To follow the rules set by the fools.
They are good enough for you to ignore.

No “What would the world say?”,
No tears and fears. Take the biggest platform,
Heads high, You speak this time,
And the world goes all ears.

Don’t wait for them to hold the door open
You be a gentlewoman, and do that
for them.
Be a beautiful human with a good soul,
A “fairy tale Princess”, is not really cool.

Offer a seat to a man,
Next time you go in a crowded bus.
Let humanity be at the top
Break the stereotypes and skip some fuss.

Shackles of anklets are gone,
Time you wear your confidence beautifully.
No vermillion ticks showing you’re taken.
You can speak for yourself, let the world awaken.

For eons you faced bigotry,
By the world and within.
It’s time you stop it right there,
In the smallest of the things.

A pair of shorts or a “6 yards of grace”,
Should be your call, and no man’s business.
Whether you go all boring baggies
Or you slay in your dress.

Last but not the least, open up
You’re limitless,
you’re an infinite celebration
You deserve the roses and the thoughts
Equally fresh.

Love!! to all the women..!
