a woman

What if I tell you
that I smile when I feel like crying
I celebrate with you as if its my happiness
When I feel like, I m dying…

I want to scream my head off
Throw things around but all I do is-smile
I feel like breaking everything, I like
Alas!all I do is kiss you goodnite
And switch off the lights

I laugh at your naughtiness
And tears fill my eyes
U assume it’s the happiness making me cry
Do u know? it’s the tears of irritation
That wet my eyes

I m a woman
Probably that’s why I can, my pain, hide
I m broken, shattered, lost
Like in the fireplace
The burnt oaks lie

I think some dreams a gud only at nite
Husband, in laws, kids, all sounded so nice
That why I didn’t think twice
Now I lament; I m bonded, tied downWhen I desire to fly like a kite……..
