To become a silent good girl

Stood at d’ corner of d’ room,

to perform d’ schedule regular

dad told, must stay in a corner

to become a silent good girl

Obedient, acted on his words,

couldn’t intuit d’ real meaning

eyes, d’ petals of a fresh lotus,

look, as if a docile deer gazing

Lean figure with long black hair,

spread open, wavering in wind

schooling completed long back,

higher study in corner of mind

 But can’t be a bold learned girl,

dad won’t allow to achieve that

society has drawn d’ limit lines,

get married, be a bride perfect

A girl with wings, it’s her life,

but they discuss, take decision

she dreamt to become an angel,

always ridiculous her opinion

Forced to shatter d’ nightmare,

ultimately hurt her tender heart

bashful to speak on own behalf,

she knew d’ silent good girl art

Can’t weave d’ nest of choice,

youthful desires need a burial

uncut teenage dream dumped,

to become a silent good girl
