She Was Born - By: Riddhi Barot

She was born.

She was born in many places.

She is still born everywhere.

Here and there.

The joy that they feel.

Or whatever writers describe it as.

Time passed.

So did she,

Now all grown up.

A woman to be married.

She has desires

But they don’t matter

Modernity has set its standards.

Beauty is the first rule.

Literacy the second.

Gracefulness a must.

Hell was life

Trying to look like heaven.

She was born.

Again,

A woman need to be married.

A fury full of flames

Unfulfilled dreams.

A determination to complete.

She was born, Again.
