मेरी सोच की शक्ल में कड़वा सच। न सुन सकता गर समाज इस वक्त।।
मैं वीरांगना हूँ ,धैर्यवान हूँ। रुकना अौर झुकना आता नहीं।।
सूरज सी तेज हूँ, ज्वाला सी रौशन हूँ मैं।
बुझते उम्मीदों का चिराग हूँ मैं।।
हवा न दे इस चिंगारी को। खाख में मिल जाएगा।।
अब भी नहीं सम्हलेगा अगर। मिट्टी में मिल जाएगा।।
Women in every part of the world are suffering inequality in name of tradition and customs. Chained into male-dominated society where either she has no individuality or freedom to serve herself. Born to fulfill family needs is like an unsolved maze that knows no end.
From shameful child marriage to brutal rape, from unfair color discrimination to harsh domestic violence, from terrible molestation to awful infanticide, from offensive unfair trump to upsetting widowhood she suffers it all.
Yes, I wake up sacred with tears in my eyes. Those nightmare filled with dirty, frighting people who are there to suck all my vitality. Me and my beautiful sisters, who ever she is, which ever place she belongs to. We sharing the same difficulty, but hesitate to come out and take stand for ourselves.
I won't let it amend decisions of my life. I'll stay strong, brave and calm, and always ready to face this evil minded society. Promising to myself, to give worthy good learning to the coming future. To make this place bearable enough to live in without any fear.
"But she is standing upright strong and beautiful to overpower all the evil."
