Child Marriage An Evil Blot

She was born with many dreams In a colorful world
  Which was darkly screwed
 She was growing with all hers desires 
 To enjoy the childhood with friends  And to study with heart in school of dream
 But her life seemed to be moving in some other direction
 She thought of wearing school uniform
 But was made ready in a bridal dress 
She was still unclear with thoughts 
Was just following according to  the elders with fantasy 
She never knew what's happening with her life
  And just happened to be like wind that moves over the sea, 
She was a delicate bud which was still left to be bloomed 
She thought of sharing food with her friends 
But she was made to cook for everyone 
She thought of soaring up in the sky high
 But she was constrained to live inside a fence She was just a little girl 
Who was still left to ripe 
She was knotted with someone Who was a stranger for her 
She was just made to leave her home For the so called rituals 
She was to be sleeping in lap of her mother 
But was forced to be a mother herself 
She was still a child of full of fantasies
 But was doomed and made living dead body by her loved one's.
