The fetters that surround me
invisible and intangible
have tied me down to a status
unfulfilling and thankless.
This might sound ambiguous to most
that being true on my side
born in a traditional community
family strictly orthodox
confines girls to stay at home
regardless of their qualifications
and brilliance,vouchsafes education
as an achievement not to be exposed.
Ironical it sounds, I underwent
such constraints, which placed me
within the four walls, rain or shine
home is where I perform.
The concept gradually percolated
made me a home bird, I remained
and remain at home, executing
the maximal from the minimal.
