Woman - An Ironclad Flower

Reminds me-

Of a girl who doesn't know working hard can bring any better than making her father happy

Of a girl who hasn't seen her fragile existence but always comes forward to fight for her brother

Of a girl in her twenties supporting her whole family where the men have denied working

Of a woman, alone in the hospital and used stairs multiple times after C-section just to get her baby's tests done

Of a woman with diabetic foot ulcer, trying hard to stand on her feet as her children and home sound disturbed

Of a woman who is always on her husband's side, the one who beats her in a closed room

Of a woman who serves the hospital in day and family at night, sleeps less but still struggling to make her in-laws happy and agreed

Of a woman who fights with herself, changes her identity as she is forced to marry the one she doesn't want to be with

Of a woman who is bearing her marriage for 60 years and still feels disrespected by her husband while talking

Of a woman about whom children think she can't fall ill, but in reality is hiding her disease

And Of a woman who has bonded all the members together, dissolving their quarrels just to save the blood relations

-For the woman of our country who don't live for themselves but for their family.
