Analysis of Life of an Indian wedded lady
I can be anyone you want me to
I would end up my dreams just for you
I would be silent and quite and still
I would be restless at home without saying anything.
I would be cultured and civilize and refined and pacific as the sea
I would endure the pain and set you free
But shouldn't it be fair to let me live my dreams
Shouldn't it be fair to let me breath in this moonlit street
To let me wonder through the air around this ginormous world
As a bird and let me proceed.
But I am the one bird whose wings are trapped with strings
By the preys.
And now I am laying in this frozen land beautiful and sweet
But no one around.
But once I am out I would try higher than anyone
Faster than anyone and make myself proud.
