Freedom

Her story

P. Selvi

IT is her story, unchanged as ever
Freedom to choose was never hers
Condemned to live the choice of others
Head bowed and heart-filled dreams, not a word was muttered.

Freedom to choose was never hers
Yet, defied all odds and stood by her choice
Resolute with a bowed head and heart-filled dreams, not a word was
muttered
Geared to walk the talk with her choice.

Defied all odds and stood by her choice
Spewed and vilified with venom and scorn
But geared to walk the talk with her choice
Oh! Was it really the right choice?

Spewed and vilified with venom and scorn
She stood alone for making the choice
No, not really the right choice
Ridiculed and humiliated, she stood tall.

She stood alone for making the choice
Not a word uttered against the subject of her choice
Ridiculed and humiliated, she stood tall
It is her story, unchanged as ever.
