Her Strength

She always acted strong Guarding her emotions And Her intense feelings I'm not vulnerable Carrying this big shield Like everything is fine Faking her smile ever Pushing those cheeks upward In greeting everyone Hiding her teary eyes Restricted and bounded In cage of emotions With darkness in childhood With no hand on her head She grew up insecured Amidst anxieties With a singular goal support her family Father's place was vacant In her innocent phase Started having a rage Became a bit anxious Resulting soul made of phobias and hatred In the Society Male dominance prevailed They looked at her puzzled was rare to see for them Why there's no male member Was the golden question Collected strength within Faced everyone around expressing her heart out Pointing to her mother She is my guardianĀ  And my pillar of strength __________
