Live and Love

Whom should I satisfy
I wish all the happiness I could buy.
For whom should I sacrifice
I have been living in it for my whole life.
I lived on other's rules
I have been living in their shoes.
Now am going to die in peace
Atleast I will be in comfort and ease.
I dreamt of a life apart
When I think of the past, it bleeds in my heart.
It was beautiful, I wish my dreams could become reality
But I have to accept the truth painfully.
I want to get out of this shadow
I want to live and love.

    the Saudi guardianship system continues to treat women as minors .under this discriminatory system girls and women of all ages are forbidden from travelling ,studying,or working without permission from their male guardians .i think this poem is a brave attempt to criticize this rude law .thank you for sharing .jk
