Spare me the flower
Instead hand me
the power
I don’t need no
favour
It’s the
freedom I savour
I don’t want to
worry about my body and face
I want to
dance, walk and rocket into free space
I hate to be
split, spliced and rolled
To fit some
rustic superwoman mould
I want my
choice and my selfishness
Not to dissolve
into tales of sacrifice and selflessness
I want to earn
that crown and carrot but on a same yardstick
Not to simply meet
a number and a statistic
I shall flaunt
my wrinkles and my sag
Coz I define my
own beauty and swag
I want to be my
own legend
My own start
and my own end
I may be a
woman but still a girl
Loving a
giggle, a skirt swirl and a pretty curl
Very nice Devi😘
