Analysis of The Indian Girl
A girl is to be treated like a burden
Not allowed to leave her den
After she crosses her ten!
The upbringing is never right
Even then , She's told not to wear anything thight
Just because , she's not to catch anyone's sight
They make her life a living hell
And treat her like a frog in the well
She's never meant to be her personal
No one wants to know her inside out
Also , never wants her to shout
But only allowed to pout
She always wondered if her life could be any better
Instead it turned to be even bitter
She wished she could try harder , Because she's never a quitter
They say it's women's duty to cook
When we have no one else for us to look
She's made to close her book
And her life is left a nook
Her life's all empty
Even then , she's blamed for gaining sympathy
Because , on her was never shown empathy
She's always on their joke
Never minded what she spoke
Even when she's too broke
Sometimes She's treated like a queen
Only till she's teen
But never give a damn about her dream
She's made someone's wife
But never had her life
Left with her hand holding a knife
She's only given a toy
Told not to enjoy
Only because , they fear about some boy!
She's treated like a game
Where , The one who played should be ashame
Instead she's the one who took the blame.
