One Indian “Girl or Thought”

Poetry 1 Minute

A girl , A friend

Who wishes to be successful

Recognised, who not

Barely 18 years old , her parents

decided to marry her

to shatter her dream to pieces

 

A bride , A friend

The which was destined to write

her future

Is overshadowed by Henna now

To search her Fiance name

Instead of her goal

 

Beleagured by society

giggling family members

but the fate wept on her

She too

Everyone thought it is pain of separation

Yes , it is from dreams , not people

 

A Wife , A friend

In this condition

How can she say

“How the world looks like to her”

Who cares , what she cares

Certainly no one , not even me

Because

I am also a silent spectator

Yesterday ,

She invited me on her Birthday

Today ,

Invitation Card of marriage , I received

Indeed its most courageous act to think

About oneself

 

Now a women , still my friend

She never talks to me , Nor I about her

A Girl , A Friend
