A Woman

A woman gives birth to a new life.
She is not just a 'woman' 
But also a mother, a companion, a spouse,
A sister and, a survivor to the end. 

We never value her, respect her 
Ask her concerns and care for her
We never wipe away her tears, 
As they are imperceptible as air. 

She works, cooks and cleans
She chuckles, helps comfort, 
Yet, she never complains
And shrouds her agony. 

At the point when you battle in your life 
She helps to get you through
This is HER and what do we do? 
Grumble and make a wreck 
Give her pressure,
And leave her feeling discouraged. 

We push her away 
And overlook her exhortation
Reveal to her she isn't anything 
Without a man

She was assaulted, tormented 
And mishandled by the world
Told her she is nothing 
And would be continuously utilized 
Only for joy and pleasure 

She bites the bullet, puts her sentiments aside
Does as you need altogether for you to be free 
Overlooks your obliviousness 
And endures your blemishes

You call her a scraper and vagrant
You call her with slang names
But she answers with satisfaction and pride 
With a total loss of self

You call her nothing
But I call her solid, keen, erotic, mindful
Yet giving, enduring, lenient and amazing
And I call her WOMAN!
