He and She

She

She was taught to be beautiful,
Elegant and skilled in cooking,
They said chasing dreams is a boy's thing.

Her hope was to fly high someday, but,
Everyone said birds belonged to the cage, and what not,
Raging against them wasn't worth a shot.

Forgiven, was she, when she ran away?
Regrettably not, she was called insolent,
Everyone thought her silence was consent, and,
Everyone humiliated her to their heart's content,

happiness is not on the cards,
they broke her into irreparable parts.

All the experienced adults of society,
All the learned men,
Could never put her together, back again.
