The Worthless Daughter

{"What’s a daughter? 
What is a daughter’s worth when a man has a son? 
Absolutely nothing. That’s what it is. 
I must admit that I grieve and envy to be anything like the son that is not a disappointment after all.
And your reminiscence of coldness spread throughout my gut and core. Whereas once they were kaleidoscopic until the shades leaked off. 
And all left from it was hollowness and darkness with no granted exit or escapism.
Just like the downpour that couldn’t collapse. 
The clouds dampened with unshed tears, I am the daughter that couldn’t ascend.
they should see me,
Every bit of leisure morality vacated within me, they should see me relinquish it right now.
They should see me lose, my sanity, until every last bit of it
vanished into thin air…"}

As a girl in an Indian household, I relate to this; it feels like you’re inferior because of something you can’t control. Fun fact- a long time ago in India, when parents found out they were going to have a girl, they’d abort it. It got to the point where India passed a law stating that a doctor can’t tell patients the sex of their baby. I’ve always related to unfair treatment due to my gender- love how your speaking about it! Never stop what you do, your work is really powerful! <333

My sister and I broke the unjust generational standards. I'm glad we were able to accept our worth as equal. And I completely agree, us girls should stick together! We're always stronger with each other

Oh my goodness, I am so sorry you have to go through that. That is just horrible, and inhumane. Thank you for your kindness, in order to grow, us girls have to stick together through and through. I’m so glad you’re liking it! <333
