Your mind has to be stronger than your feelings.

Lived in cage for years, 

My wings clipped, had dried tears.

 

I had no way to escape from cruel surroundings,

So death welcomed me without any boundings.

 

I don't suffocate under the ground, 

Like I suffocated in four walls. 

 

Wish I was alive to tell you all, 

But that's the ending of life's call. 


The author's comments:

This poetry is dedicated to women all around the world who experience patriarchy in households and who are helpless in misogynistic surroundings. I originally wrote it when I experienced harsh words and cold behaviour from my family.
