The house is full of cries
She is born
Beautiful, soft, like a dream
Her little fingers curled
Her pink face peaceful
As she feels secured
Bundled up in her mother’s arms
Unaware of the attempts
That was made to kill her
Even before she felt alive
And now she is born.
She is like water
Colourless, adaptable
She is living
As others want her to
She has dreams she treasures
But she keeps them hidden
Secured under the chains of her strength
She is growing
And so are her restrictions
And her responsibilities
At the age of 14
She is half a woman already
She knows her house, her people
As good as her own self
But her, she is surrounded
In the pitch black darkness
Of anonymous identity
And she keeps growing
she lives so many identities
but her own
A woman is born
She is blessed
With a white face
And darkness...
