Manali Sankhe Poems

They can intimidate you,
Yes, the men can,
They seem to have all the power,
And they make you feel weak like you never have.
...

The wrinkled faces that radiate smiles,
The little eyes that twinkle all the time,
The impatience within just like a child-
As they grow old.
...

I let words hurt me.
I let bad dreams affect me.
I let glares dig holes in me.
I let the unsaid be heard.
...

The day you are born is the day your parents are the most happy.
You might be bluish-pink or yellowish-green,
Still it's your parents with joy who'll scream!
You grow up and learn every day,
...
