"I'm done", she whispered to herself. "I lost everything"...

But who's the speaker here? This talking to herself? Who lost everything?
The epic of Māhabhāratā is well known to everyone. It is filled with loads of mystery...
War! The word itself is a destruction. Many people lost their lives the in battle of Māhabhāratā. Many people lost their families. We all know almost about all the characters. Few are identified, few are getting researched but millions are lost in the pages of history. And one among then was Uttāra. Her life, feelings, mostly the character remains underrated.
PRESENTING A BOOK ON UTTĀRA.
(WARNING! THIS IS A PURE WORK PF FICTION BASED UPON MY IMAGINATION. HATINGS WON'T HE TOLERATED!)
"I dismissed the lights to keep myself alone. The dark filled all the room, fire died down and my shadow was lost. Tears shadowed my cheeks and I sang in a lost voice,
"What if I tell you,
that I don't have a dream.
And my life is all strained,
With your hopeful wings m
And I'm a wingless bird,
Injured but still crawling.
On the branches,
You built with love.
Every step brought a crack,
But you don't listen.
You are wondering,
In a success delusion.
Will you leave me?
If I say I'm just a maple leaf,
And will disappear after a soft breeze,
That I was never supposed to stay for your dreams,
And I was never supposed to follow the faced steps."
