Facing the storm
A soul modified by the patriarchal actions
Surviving to live a life
Fighting the demons of society
Accepting the way they treated her
Sacrificing happiness to please others
Spreading love to everyone
Struggling to maintain family's reputation
Glossing her dreams for others
Thinking about others before self
Sprinkling all her concerns to others
Owing life to male members of her house
Busy in Seeking approval of her needs
Tolerating the discrimination and the violence
Adapting new surname leaving behind the past identity
Accepting four boundaries as her world leaving behind all ambitions and dreams
Spend whole life in supporting others but end up having no support
Still unheeded
Making all her efforts a grave failure
Wearisome of others behaviour...
In a search for recognition
What she gets in return is,
The position of goddess
Again, expecting to be the idol of love and sacrifice
Worshipped few days and emaciated on the flip side
Hence making a vicious cycle
Which makes it impossible for her to gain an identity of herself....
