♡Hushed Poetries♡

u s w o m e n (P)

The world is "modernizing", we are all progressing just fine,

"Equal opportunities for women", but only before nine,

Cause from nine to morning seven, it's still a man's world,

While our wings are no more chained, some of us are still caged birds.

And Even then this "changed" world ceases to exist beyond our window blinds,

Behind which we are taught to sit straight, cross our legs and close our minds,

And reminded, that every wrong move is an open invite for him,

To consider our body as his toy, built to degrade and destroy beyond mere skin.

And while some of us have managed to get out of this swamp of misogyny,

Those stuck under are pulled deeper through toxic tendrils of masculinity,

And treated as soulless bodies with nothing but wombs,

Manipulated into thinking their sole purpose is to look pretty and to reproduce.

But society it's high time you stop glorifying his abuse as his masculinity,

It's high time you stop symbolising our bodies as your dignity,

For we refuse to be substitutes to this bigoted mentality,

Us women are capable of leading our own world very well single handedly.

This one is very close to my heart. It speaks for itself honestly and I am not sorry if your feelings get hurt after reading this one cause I don't need to declare "not all men" everytime I write about the injustice some(a large mejority of) men and also some women impose! And yes I agree that men too are abused and face similar gender biased challenges but this poem is not about you, this poem is about women so please let it be that!
