In her mum's womb, she imagined,
She imagined how the outside world would be...
She thought about her mom's glee.
After getting her she thought her daddy being happy would flee.
She imagined her grandparents taking her to the walk.
She imagined her kins waiting for her to talk.
She made up her mind to meet her new friends.
She thought others love for her will never end.
She imagined the world in different way.
Never imagined what the society usually say.
But when she was born.
The pages which depict her dream were torn.
All her dreams shattered.
When she faced the moments when others muttered.
When she demanded for an independence.
People gossiped that she lacked sense.
She dreamt to fly.
But she was a girl.... That made her wry.
She was a girl, so what???
So what if she dreamt to achieve heights?
But those tortures snatched her life.
She never dreamt to become a house wife.
Alas! That golden girl was forced to leave that world.
Of course she will never ask for birth once again.
Never she'll wish to go to those dirty lanes.
Her shattered dreams for that angel remain haunted
about which to the almighty she always taunted.
