Let Me Live My Life

I'm a girl But i'm the princess of this society Just after birth i was crowned The crown of their pride & dignity Like any Royal princess I have also many encumbrance Which are set only by them "Don't talk much,Don't laugh much At this time, Don't go outside Don't wear dresses- short & tight" They don't know This crown is too heavy & spiky How hard to handle on the head Which is soft & delicate They don't know How suffocating it is to wrap up myself in full sleeves & long dress Why Don't they understand I'm a girl, just a girl Don't wanna be such Royal princess Let me move my head Up-Down, Right & Left Without any load of Crown Let me see this whole world With my naked eyes Without any pall of Veils Let me breath & feel Pure air & the cool breeze Without any envelope of burkha & nakab Let me live my life, On my rules & Laws Let me live my life, On my rules & Laws

By pure accident of birth, me and mine have enjoyed unparalleled freedoms and have travelled the world over. I appreciate that and thank God for it Sakshi. Your insight is expressed so well here.

Wonderful poem, Sakshi. There is an awful lot of pressure of kids these days - I come from a family with six kids so the pressure was more evenly distributed.
