So Much A Girl Has To Face

By Varun Arora

There is so much a girl has to face,

Even before birth starts her survival race....

The world around goes by the rule of survival of the beast not the best,

Every day she lives , she has to face a new challenge and a new test ....

There is so much mess she has to face,

That everyday life seems like a whole new maze ...

Broken, shattered and torn ,

With their mere will, smiling they still stand strong....

Even after playing so many role ...

Still her life feels empty and never feels whole ...

You would be amazed ,

When you listen to challenges and dangers they everyday faced.....

Being a girl is not an easy task,

Try living her life and even for a day you won't last. ..

Being a girl, It's complicated and not as easy as it seems,

Their faces smile, even when in pain they bleed and their heart screams...

Physically tired and emotionally drained,

A week every month full of weakness and pain...

Every month they suffer pain,

What's the benefit what's the gain....

Often hurt and betrayed,

Things are not always as they are portrayed....

With hormonal rush,

Life gets absurd...

Peace of heart gets flushed,

The soul gets crushed....

With no one to hear their silent tears,

Some days feel like their destiny is sealed with darkness and fears ...

Sometimes being born as a girl feels like a crime,

Always busy fulfilling others dreams and wishes, to live her life she hardly is left with any time...

Always working and never getting enough rest ,

Things are never good enough even after giving their best....

Every day is a random new surprise test,

People are never happy and satisfied even when they give their best ....

Their depression and mood swings ,

Are often result of their disappointments, lost dreams and clipped wings....

Since childhood they live life of confusion and uncertainty ,

They live their life being dependent on destiny....

At least once in their lifetime they all face trauma,

Rest of their life is mostly filled with drama ..

Hiding their pain behind beautiful smiling mask,

I am ok will be the only answer you would get whenever you ask....

Trying to act fine,

They keep searching for someone to be their life sunshine...

Often cheated, betrayed and played,

Caught in traps of sweet words and false promises so beautifully laid ...

Often being loved not for their hearts but only for their looks,

Messing up their lives landing up with jerks and crooks ....

They forget and doubt their worth,

When they meet people who take them for granted and treat them like dirt...

Often used, Often abused,

Every time exploited with a different/new excuse....

Mentally, emotionally n physically exhausted and drained,

Their mind and body's end up overly strained...

Often mentally strong, emotionally weak and physically meek,

True love and happiness is the only thing from life they often seek .....

Often there are things they can't speak or share ,

Because they have been misjudged and hurt too many times by the people who acted concerned but dint really care...

With their emotions often mistaken as sign of their weakness,

They often shed tears alone in times of their stress...

Easily Gullible,

Often landing in trouble...

Often taken undue advantage of their kindness,

They end up hurt n in complete mess n distress....

Living in deep darkness down,

With killer hounds lurking all around ....

Safety risk n fear is always running in their mind,

The world around is full of brutal animals not so kind ...

Always living under pressure of peer,

Always Living a life of fear...

Taught and thought to Often live as a shadow ,

Depending on others to exist and to grow....

Often made to believe that they are weak,

And need someone else help in order to live ....

Often trapped in the believe,

That a prince charming can only bring them relief...

They need someone else make them whole,

A happy marriage is their lives main and often the only goal ....

Being haunted for dowry,

Paying money for being loved feels sad and sorry...

From a early age,

They spend time worrying about spending a fortune on their marriage....

It's a price they need to pay,

To buy happiness and keep taunts and negativity of the world and society away and at bay...

Often made to believe they are weak ,

To take their life decisions and speak their heart they are often restricted to speak ..

Excepted to listen and trust others advice,

They live a life of silent sacrifice....

There is so much a girl has to face ,

Often criticized but rarely praised.....

The amount of sacrifice a girl has to make ,

Leaving behind her home and parents, a new fresh life as a wife she has to make...

Being the bearer of new life ,

She takes on the role of a mother in addition to her duties of a wife...

So much sacrifice and risk she has to take,

At times like childbirth putting her life at stake...

So much of her daily hard work goes unnoticed, unappreciated and waste,

No one realizes the scarifies everyday she had to make...

Often as a sister,

She has to act as a baby sitter....

Even with brothers she has to compete,

To get equal opportunities to Study, eat and live....

With no freedom and equal privilege in their life,

At every step for equal rights they fight and strive...

Often then have to raise their children alone,

Whom their father heartlessly disowns.....

Often they sacrifice their sleep,

Building their children's future or Worrying about saving them from the world full of dangerous creeps ...

Always expected to cook and look perfect,

Like she is not an human but an factory made flawless object...

Treated as dirt, thought as burden on earth,

Often aborted before birth....

Sometimes being born as a girl feels like a crime,

People turn their backs to these harsh realities blaming it on the changing time....

Going through all these hardships it's hard even to survive,

She must be an angel divine who even after all these adversities can gracefully grow, thrive and even rise…
