Overshadowed by dominance
Beena remains docile while growing.
Her elder sister plays the pivotal
role, commanding, shouting, pushing
Beena to the background.
The younger one grows up quietly
unmindful of her sibling’s
powerful personality. The parents
go with the oldest daughter,
encouraging her to the fullest.
Realizing her status much later,
Beena comes out of the fol,
sets off on her own. Eyed with
displeasure by her family, she
rises up in stature.
She distances herself from the roots.
settles down independently never once
turns for love nor seeks her rightful inheritance
.Amassing her share, her siblings rejoice.
while she lives with pride.
