# I Could Not! Poem by Seema Aarella
# I Could Not!
(Dedicated to all women, daughters of middle class parents who are undergoing a traumatic life in their rich in-laws house, because of status difference)
Wish I could,
Break my cage,
One last time spread my wings
Flap freely in the wilderness
Take a hopeful flight,
Out of helplessness…….
Wish I could,
Speak my heart,
One last time recite my dreams
Under the cover of brooding sky
Holding your hands
And endlessly cry………
Wish I could,
Show my tears
One last time endure the pain
Of piercing daggers and swords
Of blatant deeds
And sarcastic words……
Wish I could
Set on fire,
Myself as I silently stood
Saw them, heard them, let them do
I bled with pain
God didn’t move……
Wish I could
Even the divide,
Of powerful rich and the dismal poor
Light up every dejected daughter’s face
When her parents come
Visiting her place……...
But I could not ….I could not!
Eloquent......painful......a truely piece of art seema! ..........10+++++ as always
fatabulous mind blowing 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
