WHAT IS TO BE A WOMAN?

BY SANJIVANI SHARMA
WHAT IS IT TO BE A WOMAN?
I'VE SEEN WOMEN AROUND ME
WHO'VE LEFT ALL THEY HAD
TO RAISE A FAMILY.
I'VE SEEN WOMEN WHO HEARS FROM 
THEIR HUSBAND FOR NO REASON
BUT SAVES IT ALL FOR THEIR HOME.
THREE WOMEN BY AMRITA SHERGILL
I'VE SEEN WOMEN 
IN PAIN TO GIVE MORE THAN HER CAPABILITIES TO PEOPLE WHO
DON'T EVEN VALUE HER.

WHAT IS TO BE A WOMAN?

I'VE SEEN WOMEN BEING ALL STRONG
DEDICATED TOWARDS THEIR GOALS.
I'VE SEEN WOMEN MANAGING THEIR HOUSEHOLD, AND THEIR HUSBANDS BEING A PILLAR IN THEIR SUCCESS.
I'VE SEEN WOMEN EARNING SAME AS MEN.
I'VE SEEN WOMEN BEING THE COVER OF THE NEW WORLD.

WHAT IS IT TO BE  A WOMAN?

 WOMEN GO THROUGH PAIN OF THE UNSPOKEN REALITIES,
IS THE MOST OBJECTIFIED AND
HER WORK IS NOT APPRECIATED ENOUGH.
FOR WHAT BECAUSE SHE'S A WOMAN?
AND IF YOU THINK WORKING AT THE SAME PLACE
AND EARNING SAME WAGE
MAKE THINGS EQUAL
THEN YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA THAT
THINGS INBUILT 1000000 YEARS AGO 
HAVE NO SCOPE OF DATA CORRUPTION.
IT HAVE BEEN PASSED ON FOR YEARS AND IS STILL
BEING PASSED ON SOMEWHERE.
THE PROBLEM IS THE EXPECTATIONS.
EVEN IF SHE EARNS SAME AS MEN, WORKS FOR THE SAME HOURS
IS STILL EXPECTED TO DO WHAT
A WOMEN IS' EXPECTED' TO DO.
THEIR IS NO CHOICE TO HER DECISIONS
THEY ARE CALLED HER DUTIES.

IN THIS WORLD OF GROWING AND EXPANDING MINDS
SOME MAY DISAGREE TO THIS FACT THAT
WOMEN ARE ALREADY EQUAL TO MEN.
BUT IN REALITY IT WOULD TAKE YEARS FOR THAT,
NO I'M NOT BELITTLING ANY WOMEN
BUT I'M STATING A FACT THAT
WOMEN HAVE BEEN SUPPRESSED FOR YEARS.
AND EVEN IF SOME WOMEN ARE GETTING TO A STATUS
NOT EVERY WOMEN IS ACHIEVING THAT.
ALSO THE ONE WITH A STATUS IS STILL 
LOOKED UP WITH SAME EXPECTATIONS
THAT FOR YEARS HAVE BEEN EXPECTED FROM WOMEN.

 I WAS A GIRL AND AM TURNING INTO A WOMAN,
IT IS SO GREAT TO BECOME ONE BUT 
I AM SCARED TO STEP INTO THIS WORLD 
WHERE I HAVE TO STRUGGLE FOR MY DREAMS
A LITTLE 2X MORE.
THERE ARE SO MANY TRUTHS THAT I CAN STATE
BLINDLY FOR WHICH I DON'T FEEL EQUAL ABOUT.
IT IS AN UNTOLD TRUTH FOR THE PEOPLE 
WHO CALL THEMSELVES 'MODERN' ENOUGH
AND IGNORED REALITY FOR PEOPLE 
WHO STILL FOLLOW THE NORMS OF INEQUALITY.

 WHAT IS TO BE A WOMAN?
WELL THE STRUGGLE IS REAL.

CASSETTE                                         I am being played, on a radio so old, Yet so classic. Just like the one's I like. Feeling like an old cassette, that makes you groove few seconds before it goes  off, terribly. So If you keep  playing it, Even if it start getting A little cracked up and off tune It's film  will get loose open, tangled and messed up. It's quite difficult to roll back a cassette, you see. Taking it out is a risk, and being delicate is a priority. should be Often people who've tried entangling it either tangles it more or just  breaks it, forever. And it goes off and they no longer can  hear their favorite songs they used to groove at anymore. And it ain't that easy to make a mix tape of your favorite songs. Some might prefer listening it on the net, but I ain't like net available most times or lost completely.. I'm Kinda old school pr...

IT'S ONLY ABOUT YOU WHEN PEOPLE LEAVE YOU FEEL TERRIBLE AND SAD YOU MIGHT DRAIN YOURSELF SO MUCH THAT YOU GO HALF DEAD.  PEOPLE LEAVE  BECAUSE THEY DO EVERYONE HAVE TO SOMEDAY.. THERE COMES A TIME WHEN YOU FIND NEW HOPE OR MOTIVATION TO MOVE ON. YOU MOVE BEYOND THE PAST THAT'S HOW LIFE IS.. YOU DEPEND ON SOMETHING ELSE FOR YOU TO KEEP MOVING FOR YOU TO FIND  NEW HAPPINESS. YOU CAN'T CONTINUE BEING SAD FOREVER AND THERE'S SO MUCH THAT YOU CAN DO  IN YOUR LIFE.. NOTHING ENDS NOTHING DIES EVEN THE DEAD ARE REBORN THAT'S HOW IT GOES. YOU HAVE TO KEEP MOVING ON WE DWELL OURSELVES IN NEW HABITS TO RELIVE.. RELIVE  TO MOVE ON FROM PAST AND CREATE NEW IN PRESENT. BUT SOMETIMES WE CARRY FEW THINGS FROM THE PAST WITH US TILL OR LAST FOR US TO REMIND WHAT WE'VE COME THROUGH WHAT WE'VE LOST WHAT WE HAVE NOW. EVERYONE IS LIVING THEIR OWN LIVES WITH DIFFERENT CHARACTERS SUPPORTING THEM TO EITHER FALL OR GROW OR JUST TO LEARN. BUT FOR YOUR LIFE YOU'VE TO KEEP MOVING ON...

REGARDLESS OF EVERYBODY KEEPING THEMSELVES SAFE THERE STILL ALOT OF THEM  DYING DUE TO COVID-19 BUT WHAT IF THEY KNEW THEY'RE GOING TO DIE?
