Wonder This Change Poem by Arushi Sharma

Hit by the night
Worked during the day
Swollen eyes, depressed mind
Caught between living and dying
She was on the floor
Half naked; you know.
A belts' reflection in her eyes
A muffled scream in her resides
She can't speak, you know.
She breathed the fear in that cage
Trembled by the tap on the ground she hear
On the bed, her baby was lying and crying.
And she was trapped in listening
and questioning herself
Should I live or die? Pity we feel
But she got up, you know
As she has become a mother in her 18.
Feed her baby with tears in her eyes
Was it a hope to live or an
escape from dying?
Tell me the thing which forced her to live
To give a life to another life
Or the fear of the her baby in
other hands to live?
Was it insecurity or that mother bond
she develops within
But they saw it as her greed, call her mean
And wished she would have died
But it is the strength she collected; you know
She faced her vulnerability with that
surging motherhood inside
She lifted with courage and questioned
them with her her eyes.
She didn't remain the same, you know
And that was the moment they realised
her power
Which they try to silence.
You know she called it a play her destiny played.
Like it wanted her to fight and change her fate
For she had the gut not to be ashamed
She comes out like a fire for all
the woman, you know
And now she can't take her
steps back she knows.
For she has set a wonder example as a wonder mother and a wonder woman before all..
