Just Because I'm A Girl! ? Poem by Pranayee Rachamalla

Just Because I'm A Girl! ?



Same like everybody, i come to this world crying,
but i wonder why people cry looking at me?
They pray and worship every Goddess,
but consider their daughter as stress!
I'm blamed for everything
and never ever expected to do anything.
I'm proned to change my surname,
I have no luck to stay with my family or my name!
Just because i am a Girl!

I'm forced to shut my mouth,
I'm forced to kill my thoughts,
I'm not allowed to put my profile pic
and can't do things what I seek!
My dressing and my addressing,
decides my attitude, character and everything!
I'm not allowed to run behind a running bus,
at last making life full of fuss,
Just because I'm a girl! ?

I'm controlled from expressing myself
I'm restricted from being myself,
I'm not allowed to go alone,
I'm not allowed to use a phone,
I need to agree on other's decision
and for everything need to express the reason
I always drown in compromises
and always have a reason for sacrifices.
Just because i am a girl! ?

I'm not supposed to fight,
and forced to keep quite!
I'm not allowed to go out,
I'm not supposed to say or talk.
I'm proned to various crimes and supresions
and suffocate with depression
I'm not expected to stay as a spinster
and try controlling myself for ever!
Only just because I'm a girl! ?

the suppression is frustrating. the more you contract the spring with more vigor it is bound to bounce back. women should retaliate strongly. in what kind of a prejudiced world should we carve our existence where most of the laws are dictated by men. wonderful poem pranayee! !
