Fatema
Super Woman
That is not what I longed to be
But I was just made in the journey
That I didn’t even want to walk
I wanted to be Ordinary
Like the leaf
With hues of gold and green.
That would drift with zypher
And would be left to wander
I never wanted to be in this crazy race
Where everyone has to put up a face
But to be oneself, have to look for a place.
I wonder how I got caught in the trap
Or did I not see beyond
That’s how superwoman think I guess
They feel they will fit everywhere, sigh!
I am expecting simple pleasures
A wee bit time to be me
I am sure to accomplish
Why are expectations build
Why is acceptance made mandatory for me
I am just the same as you
And the superpowers are
Only names the world gave to task
That each of us can do.
I only have one power in me
I believe that I am perfectly ordinary
Perfect is how I shall define
Not really how the world should judge me
Super power lies here
When the world sees me smile
And doesn’t even relate that
tear was only held
For the eye to sparkle and not cry
Ordinary Simple woman like me don’t need
titles, crowns and capes
Just need a simple thought
Which reads whatever you do
You make Us proud.
