Frailty thy name is woman
The notion passes on…
I learn to live within the boundaries
Imposed by perceptionsForever chained to a watchful eye
I need no security, please
No bodyguards or wrestlers eitherI seek soldiers
Standing by my freedom
To breathe freely
Fly my dreams
Where do I find them?
I see one in father
As even as his name
Standing by me,
Evenly equal,
In my good and bad deeds.
I see one in brother,
Born of the same blood or otherwise,
Being as odd,
In name and balance,
Evenly equal
As his sister.
I see one in a friend
He knows me as one, too!
Sans the gender tag
Evenly equal
Judging me not by physical demeanour
Sharing my ambitions
Seeing me a peer,
Evenly equal,
Defining a healthy competition
I see one in husband
Standing by the sacred vows
Giving a hand,
Evenly equal,
For balancing the scales.
They stand to be true soldiers
Of faith and trust…
If only,
I could seek one in every other manA stranger yet familiar
As a fellow human
Allowing me a walk
Sans worry of the clock or the wardrobe
Nothing more, nothing more!
Re-affirmed will be hope
In small gesturesCollating into
Life!– Evenly equal in name and spirit
For them and for me!
i wish too that every man was - evenly equal. its sad that you have to write this. but you write so well.
