Every night
When the sheer darkness covered the world
A woman
Gave into her uncaring husband’s demands, unwillingly
Thereafter, her self-respect
Suffered a deep decline
Gloomy and unsatisfied
She let out a sigh of relief
And as lonely as a solitary bird in an abandoned city
She returned to the mystic world of self-efficacy
In the mornings
With no hope to shine through the barricade of her will
She faced life with a smile
Devouring the sense of freedom for herself
And for her unborn child, diligently
