I Too Called Myself Betrayed
(based on Indian wedding system)
Once i known a girl who used to walk with glee
Now i suddenly remembered that how was she
Elegance perfection reflects her face
Now i interrogates that everything was wrong with her new pace
U cant believe that the girl was once recieved so much love
But later her near ones let her burnt into cinders
At once they filled her heart with love and bliss
But in her second journey they filled her heart with poignance
They said don't talk to strangers
But they let me marry one
She thought they will not to do to her what others did to their daughters
So she used to believe each and every word they utters
She too called herself betrayed
Her life was going to be dwindled
She was going to suffer from eternal agony and pain.
But the patriarchal and the law will not feel shame
She had a trepidation for agreeing for marriage
So she couldn't denied and so she can't be embarrassed
Her parents also suffered to raise money for dowry
They refused but the groom's kin got all frowny
And they said goodbye to her
The outcome is very catastrophic
Her condition was worse than pathetic
All she gathered and got were miseries and regrets
Earlier she used to think she was perfect
Even she used to afraid of her own shadow
She felt miserable who once smelled like a meadow
She was gullible and so she trusted her parents
All she knew is to have courage and patience
She was kind to her second family
But her parents were proved as her own enemy
It's not too late
Something could be done
She suffered , she whined , she lived
So the time came to take the step
Her parents helped her and gave her the zeal
So she realesed herself from the captivation
From every threat her parents conjured
She came out of it but as injured
She remained in agony for months
Later she smiled and said to her parents to begin a new life
And she said I can't be somebody's wife
Now she was a successful and rich
And forgot all the hatered she enriched
Now I completely forgot that girl
Unless
Oh alas! That girl was me
