Prescription


When a girl was born
They wrote their prescriptions
Without any forewarn.
 
 
They wrote each and every word
With there nasty needles
Imposing limitations 
They prescribed gender role.
 
 
Giving her injections of under control
This society made all the medicines of norms
Emptying her desires
They wrote their prescriptions.
 
 
But yes! she is strong
With the threads of innocence
And the agreeable tone.
With the colors of hope
And the pleasing smile.
She has followed all the prescriptions.
