I was born an eagle
but then, my people
never taught me to fly
they believed I was unequal
-◇
so then I was raised
a man's tool aid
to cook and sew
they never believed
in what I could do
-♡
And ohh, they taught me
That all I needed was to marry
The man whom I would give offsprings
only then would I fulfill my calling
-□
Sold to a fingerling
Whom was proud and unnerving
I became a slave
Not worth more than a shilling
-○
He did chase and catch
All the young women with a latch
While I stayed Home and waning
Why was I even complaining?
-◇
When he'd finally come home
Where I was and all alone
My body became a field for sport
With time, I'd lost count of the scores
-♡
My voice was dragged and seized
And with time, seized to exist
But then I had to be humble
For the home I'd built not to crumble
-□
My purpose of birth had been fulfilled
My fate on earth had long been sealed
To birth male children and to join
Hands to bring joy to husband's loins
-○
I was born an eagle
But then, my people
Never thought me to fly
They believed I was unequal
-◇
With a failing heart
And a sight unequal
I see my little girl
Has joined the sequel.
