A Burden! Poem by harshika ram

From the infant she was till now, this moment,
The love and affection she received, the support she got,
The encouragement from her parents,
And everything in her life, is something she must be grateful for,
And never deprive.

But after a certain age her my life,
The feeling of insecurity and burden began to arise.
She kept going into a trance, thought swirling in her mind.
All the problems she may have to face, with the present problems combined!

The voices of her parents ringing in her ears...
' Your not capable, you can never achieve
Don't make us spend on you, don't make us believe in you...
This is all you can do, don't try for more.
Just do what you can, there's no time for more! '

Lost in despair, she felt herself break,
No one to talk, no one's help to take.
The feeling of burden takes over her,
She wants to leave home and go far away!

Let her parents live their lives, just forget about her...
She wants to run away and never be found.
She wants death to take over her, even if its spell bound....

As hard as she tries, she can never achieve.
A failure she is in every field.
She worries her parents, day in and day out...
Will these strife's never be over and she passes it all out.

She never believed this saying, but she believes it now

' a women is a liability while the man is an asset! '
