Yes, She ISN'T: A Poem by Bhavya Shree V

Yes

She ISN'T ...

She is 28
A divorcee
(happily divorced )
A mother of five,
You will call her;
Arrogant
Impetuous
Rude
Shameless
Treacherous
Ungracious
And
Irresponsible

But You are mistaken.

She was
humble,
Fearless
Loyal
Polite
Gracious
A woman of self-esteem

Moreover
She believed in her
Nuptial vow he made
But he couldn't...

Surprisingly
Still she is blamed
Solely
For her failed marriage
(Ridiculous)

Can you tell me
What do you
Watch for
In a growing wedding?
(Societal expectations of a successful marriage).

She's to be
Timid,
Fragile
Placid
Sacrificing
Agreeable
Obedient
Yielding

Enough....

She ISN'T
She swallowed her pride.
Therefore
She happily divorced...
