Societal Standards

Everything shall be ok,
This time shall  pass away. 
Over and over same thoughts were repeated in her head 
Time is just a mirage,
Hence, I shall be ok.

 

It was never your fault,
You are absolutely perfect the way you are. 
Cover your eyes cover your ears 
You are brave,
you can fight your fears.

 

She stuffs her mouth with food,
Every time she goes to play.
“Put stones in your pocket”
She gets bullied away, 
It was not her fault she was born this way.

 

Even her mother thinks she is skinny, 
She gives her unwanted medicine every day.
Form doctor to witches to aunties who are a step ahead
They all have shown cures,
But nothing seems to work its way.

 

You are strong 
These comments don’t exist!
They are blinded by their so called standards
It is not you who is wrong 
It is them.
