Nitika Sawhney
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!
