She arrived at the party
Dressed in a saree bright pink
Pearl necklace adorned her neck so sleek
She made a perfect picture of complete bliss
Behind all the glitter though
A sad look in her eyes could not be missed
A mother, a wife, a sister, a daughter-in-law
She tirelessly ran to and fro
To do justice to each role
But for her own life’s role
She remained highly unjustified
With each encounter on the outside,
She seemed to glow
But deep within, her life force kept ebbing low
One day I heard she was no more,
She had ended the outward show.
Did she have another option that she failed to choose?
Is she now at peace, glittering both inside out –
Remains an unanswered question now.
