Who is she?

The cloudy sky, the green forests

The hilly terrain, the sea waves

The humans of earth and animals, alike

Everyone’s calling out her name –

.

Woman! Superwoman!

Still a girl! Now a Lady!

.

Who is she?

.

May be the one, who

in everything, finds nothing

in nothing, an entire world

.

May be, she

sometimes builds castles out of goodbyes

and sometimes, busts the myths and lies

.

May be,

she creates a cohesive world

that breeds on honesty

believes in hard-work

and survives on love, infinite!

.

May be, she

sometimes idolises the legends

and sometimes, sets examples for men!

.

May be, she’s

sometimes lured to simplicity

and sometimes enticed by modernity

.

May be, she

sometimes does a little less

and sometimes a little more

but seeks no validation

and there’s no uproar!

.

So much is unknown about her, for she’s –

.

ever evolving,

always exploring

constantly bettering

whilst enjoying living!

.

But there’s also so much known, like she –

.

identifies with a genderless society

seeks no bias, on grounds of femininity

finds ways to combat patriarchy

and builds foundations for individual anarchy!

.

She often says –

.

The world would be better, with no males, no females

How interesting it would be to see humans, only for their trails

Yet in being a woman, she takes immense pride

and more, in her identity, like a self-made tide!
