#1000Speak - And she learnt to raise a voice!

Constantly suppressed by husband,

Pestered every minute by in-laws,

She spent many sleepless nights,

Tortured by her life,

Every minute she had to strive;

………

She had learnt to oblige all,

Not uttering a word foul;

What she had forgotten to learn,

Was to raise a voice for her own;

……….

The days passed by,

The months passed by,

And the years passed by;

……….

She kept quiet and obliged,

“Patience is a virtue”

With this thought she had been apprised;

………….

But all the bullying of the years,

Taught her a lesson not told by her peers;

…………

She analysed, she realized,

She learnt another virtue,

Of raising her voice for her rights,

Of standing upto the fight,

Of expressing herself,

And giving a befitting reply

With all her might.
