you find yourself lost,
lost in a breath,
even the way, that’s ahead.
You feel that you’re responsible,
because that’s what is set by patriarchy.
Learn to say NO, when you are tired,
everyone’s equal, there’s no hierarchy.
There’s no generalisation, of any color with any gender.
You can wear whatever makes you feel “YOU”.
You can also apply nailpaint and mehendi,
don’t care, when anyone says, that’s not for you.
You should respect all,
love all and be there for all.
But you should also stand against wrong
despite what gender, the bad belongs.
Above all, love yourself, and
make yourself feel wonderful.
Even Cry, when you feel
you’re broken, or when life’s down.
You’re good and you’re bright,
You’re a gentleman, and for you
there’s so much of light.
