Have You Been The Woman, The Other Woman Needed

By Nisha Murali

Beautiful, elegant, mesmerizing and just perfect

Is all they want a lady to be,

To talk pleasant and walk graceful,

To always throw a smile and tight lip all the agony

Is what they meant being a woman.

Sin is to acknowledge the authenticity

And glory is to charm everyone,

Is what she was made to believe over and over.

To be hailed noble is to remain suppressed

And to speak up is reckoned characterless.

Ever they thought what truly did she long for?

Men aren’t to be blamed always

Have you been the woman, the other woman needed?
