I am a woman, I should be timid – they say.
I am a human, I know no limit – I say.
My existence is not meant for your judgment,
Crushing me is not a sign of your triumphant.
My love for you has always been abundant,
Why am I the one to make all the adjustments?
Look into my eyes, you’ll see a twinkle,
Savaging it is so sinful.
My demand for freedom makes you reluctant,
Clothed in societal norms, I have to bear its repercussions.
How are the governing laws so different for both?
What makes you so nervous of my growth?
Why do I have to fight for what is my right?
Why do you enjoy my plight?
Being submissive is declared my attire,
No one hears what my heart desires.
I am not the one to dance on your note,
I am a volcano that erupts on my own.
I don’t demand anything extraordinary,
All I seek is equality.
Equality to Breathe without fear,
Equality to be safe my dear!
