I AM A WOMAN

 By Manaswita Bhattacharyya Mukhaty

I  am a woman

I am still, I can flow, I can take turns anywhere though;

I have the power within me to be me…

No one can change thee.

I put out my heart, whenever I feel,

Yet I stay strong and have control on it…

I am a giver….

But not a giver of myself,

I am 'me', 'myself' wherever I am,

People may choose or take granted,

But hey! I myself never took myself for granted…

Though you think, but you have never dared….

Dare not take any decision without my permission.

When I say 'no' ….it's surely a 'no',

Better to understand me, rather than to test me.

I may turn to 'Durga', 'Kali' or 'Lakshmi'...

Yes I'm powered to be empowered.

I am a woman…

I am loving, caring, giving, embracing;

Not only you or others…

But me myself even.
