“A girl is never less than a boy”
The day I was born,
I was considered a storm,
which came into my family’s life,
and the one to blame
was my father’s wife,
yes she was my mother,
who acted as my cover,
b’coz i was not a boy,
so, they treated me as a toy,
“we don’t want her”
they said to the nurse,
as for them I was a curse,
my mother went through the pain,
but all was in vain,
but I was the child of the god,
so I was saved by the lord,
he gave me a new life,
to be a good daughter, mother and wife,
an angel appeared on earth for me,
yes, my mother fought for me,
my family didn’t care,
as if I was no where,
they didn’t send me to school,
as they had to fill my brother’s pool,
when I grew older,
they thought I was being bolder,
so, they found a groom,
who fought me everyday with a broom,
my body used to ache,
but no noise I was to make,
I cried in pain,
but no reply came,
then I made a promise,
that I will give birth to a girl,
who will be a free bird,
to fly in the sky,
whose aim will be so high,
that she will set an example,
in the world of these mindless people,
that “A girl is never less than a boy”………..
