Womanhood

By Ami Mehta

I am a woman

A little shy a little bold

Be in your limits, I’ve always been told

I am a woman

Who expresses her pain and sorrows

World sees them, but still ignores

I am a woman

Flooded with comments like you are ugly,

tall, short and too much wise

I would love you, if you were of perfect size

I am a woman

Takes all the responsibilities with a smile

Burry me deep, but I’ll still rise

I am a woman

A mother, a daughter, a sister and a wife

Just to shape all these forms, don’t take her

life.
