You nailed it!

struggling to put your feet

in the memories of beautiful past

the shoe may give a bite

having tried a million times

to stay a child

may have shown you your true plight

Despite the sluggish memory, if you didn't derail it

you transcended back easily, you did it good

You nailed it!

who'd stop you from being 

happy and at peace,

when the bondage appears lush?

addicted, you start liking it

the dulcet sound

when your bones crush

Despite the eloquence of your man, if you didn't inhale it

you survived a domination, you stayed strong

You nailed it!

at sixteen when you were

married off to a stranger

and you thought he'd take care

a scintilla of words you found

would help you evolve

and give you an equal share

Despite the ship being broken, if you proudly sailed it

you lived a life of honor, woman! Bravo!

You nailed it!

PS: Girls are expected to grow up suddenly, once they get married. Irrespective of age, there is a lot that is demanded of them, and they have to comply. In the process, they lose a lot. Today is a Thoughtful Thursday, and I want to salute all the women, who've been doing great, despite all the situations after marriage! Kudos! You make me proud :)

PPS: Diba Raza, you rock, Girl! :)
