Dear Modest Young Lady

By Aishwarya Kochhar

Dear 'modest' young lady,

You, who are full of beauty and youth

Have little to no right to enjoy it

You might find some men, phony

Because while they enjoy all the obscenity when no one's looking

They still preach

How a woman should be

You might call some women fools

Due to jealousy or orthodoxy

Shamelessly become rivals of their gender

Though your individuality somewhere gets lost

And your beauty and youth fade away with time

You still won't have the freedom to enjoy it

Because women having 'too much freedom' Would always be looked down upon

Would mercilessly be shamed and called 'vulgar'

So remember

You are a modest young lady

Who doesn't go beyond her set boundaries
