SHE

She was born in a village, at the age of playing and reading books she was handed over utensils and tools of farming. She was not given lessons to go out and live in the world but she was given lessons to survive bad monsoon. When puberty hit her she was not told anything about her hygiene or how to deal with those mensuration cramps rather she was told that those days of the month made her impure for some kind. It almost felt like that having mensuration was her fault and not a gift from nature.
She was not given any right to decide for her life married off to a man who said yes to her, little did anyone ask if it was yes from her side. She was handed over to a man she did not know, never seen before however she was taught to serve him for life. She was taught to be a good wife and daughter in law, it looked like modern day slavery but how would she know ? books were unknown to her. She was expected to feel blessed because she was accepted by this Nobel man in spite of the fact that she was dark and rejected by many men before. She was made felt like rejected and tempered goods who someone took for heavy discounts.
Still she accepted her fate with a smile on her face. little did anyone know that they had given birth to a warrior a knight that was hard to defeat. She conquered everything that life threw on her. She gave life to dead. She became the power for weak the voice for unheard. She became the woman the society didn't raise her to yet she did it all.
But things were planned different for her. Fighting everything and winning  never gave her happiness you ask why? because society looked at her like a dominating woman, they looked at her who was crude and loud. Guess this society was not ready to accept woman with such intellect. They tried to take away her pride her health her confidence and most importantly her respect. She fought everything with great pride and strength and never gave up.
But this was the battle she signed up for that would take lifetime to end.
