The Success story

I am successful 

I guess I have reached the summit 

Beyond being the obedient daughter

Ahead of the subservient wife

Far away from the good enough daughter in law

Somewhere above the all sacrificing mother

And I climbed 

Above and beyond 

The clouds of my dream land

Which is supposed to be green

And vibrant

All breezy and sunshine

Here I stand 

Looking down on the steps 

I had to hop and skip

There goes the witty laughter

And there falls the halo

Here scatters the ego

There evaporates the glory

I spread my wings

I have to fly

The free sky beckons 

Towards the breezy sunshine

Here I come

I have climbed above the tentacles

The society bound me with

Here I rise

The agony strikes

The tug is stronger

The pull inevitable

Tied to my womanhood

Here I come

Back to the earth

Of my reality!
