When she first opened her eyes,
there was a colourful world all around her
but the people surrounding her
were the demons of that world!
her mother didn't even look at her with a blind eye,
her father turned back from the door and left
Her tiny buds withered before they could bloom,
her smile was already stopped!
the little girl could not just sleep
because her thoughts were way too deep,
her mind had gone out for a stroll
and fallen down into a rabbit hole
The name of the gender was stamped on her existence,
she came to the world fearlessly
little did she know that
she would be sent from where she had come
but still a question was remaining in her mind,
"mom-dad , why only me?"

- Comment from author about the poem: By being myself a girl, I feel very bad about the condition of a girl in the society. A girl child is recognised soon and most of the times killed in the womb. If she survives, she will be born to grow as a second grade life in comparison to boys at home. Let the girls bloom , let her shine like beautiful moon. Yeah , she is an endangered species.

A very strong message dear poet
Even if she may grow
There might be restraints from around
Don’t know if the question be mom-dad why me?
I feel it’s more like
Society why me? Why be so hypocrite
They talk about gender equality but why no gender sensitivity
Good poetry with a strong message
Keep going dear poet
Keep writing and don’t stop
Thank you so much for your appreciation and guidance. I hope you will guide me in the future also
We shall walk together in lanes
In lanes of words
Singing poetries on way
You show me light
I show you some
We walk in a journey called life
Guiding and supporting around as we play
Your poem is so sad. This is real in many countries. You have written a powerful poem which will tug at the heartstrings of many readers. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for your appreciation❤
'The name of the gender was stamped on her existence,'
this is such a powerful line!
too many of us, in the developed west
fail to recognise, just how extreme
the disparity - is
between the empowerment and freedom, afforded
to girls and ladies
in the western world
and the conditions, majority
in the rest of the world
are forced, to survive...
(an important write
thanks for sharing)
I really put a lot of thoughts into this . Thank you , I really appreciate you taking the time to read it.
Very deep and an unfortunate world view many societies still practice in this enlightened (?) age. Wonderful write that sheds light.
Thanks J.
I wish I could understand that mantality of thinking. Is this what they call "their culture"? "Customs"? It's nothing short of criminal in my eyes. I just don't get it 🤔 You've penned a GREAT message here Nilanjana! Bravo! Take a bow and shine bright 🌟🌹✌️🕊
Thank you so much dear poet. It means a lot!! ❤🤗
