We are different
We dream differently
yes its true, we dream differently
I neither thwart nor curb yours
but why should I stop dreaming
only because we dream differently.
We speak different languages
you betray mine
and speak the language of ‘power’
when I resist
you call me a feminist.
We think differently
but never did I maneuver
nor imposed, as you did
still it bothers you
to tell me, I dare not opine.
We act differently
you with your pretense and hubris
undermine mine, and
I ruminate and internalize
this is my strength.
Our desires, our emotions and our values differ
all your efforts to teach me resilience
will not go in vain
either you evolve, or I am reborn!!
