"Ok, just push it a little harder here
A little more there
Squeeze it in, lower your head a bit
There is still a little space here in which your feet can fit
Ok, now fold your arms and hold yourself together
PERFECT!
A perfect fit in in the drawer
Just your size, how delightful!"
She’s pushed in and made to fit
Into the nearest drawer to the ground
Of course she can’t be stored in the one above it
Or the drawer would break
After all it cost a lot of money
We won’t afford paying for its repair!
She is SQUASHED in!
It doesn’t matter, she’ll get used to it
After a couple of minutes she’ll go numb
Her feet would go cold
Her head would be hit by a burning headache
Then her nostrils would hurt like a bitch
But we will save the drawer from breaking
A five stories drawer costs a lot of money
Besides, she doesn’t mind!
She doesn’t know how to mind!
You stuffed her in
A girlish drawer with roses on its side
So pretty and well manufactured
Made to store her life, her growth and her mind;
It’s made to store her in!
A perfect match, just a little bit squeezed
A little bit suffocated and a little bit hurt
It doesn’t matter, she made a perfect a fit!
Many build a cage around their daughters, just to protect them! but that could also take the opposite direction of what they intended! Its amazing how intended protection and love can turn to insecurity and doubt!
ReplyDeletethank you...its a very poignant article!
you are welcome. I'm glad you liked it :)
Deletethe thing is, it's not only the parents, it's the community that restricts them the most. when you're raised in a confined society they are obliged to trim their senses to fit in and this is what irritates me the most :D
