Thank you !
She’s Answerable!

Thank you for making her realize 

She’s answerable! 

Despite her big moments…

She’s meant to act and react to you 

And your whims and fancies 

Thank you for making her aware

She’s answerable! 

Having made you a complete being 

She’s meant to attend to you 

Even as she frails, in silent wails 

Thank you for making her guilty 

She’s answerable! 

For having some moments for herself….

For being in the limelight 

For getting acclaimed for her achievements 

Thank you for nailing her down 

She’s answerable! 

For being on social media….

As you monitor her moves from far

Yet, you revel on various platforms 

Thank you for making her apologize 

She’s answerable! 

Even as she ages with low wages

Finding solace in her solitude 

For she must be at your beck and call 

Thank you for finding her faults 

She’s answerable! 

The one who lived to fulfill your dreams

Having no right to live for herself 

Or to chase her far fetched dreams 

Thank you for etching on her mind

She’s answerable! 

For each step she ever took for herself 

For she didn’t seek your approval 

And you chose to stay aloof

Thank you for reminding her

She’s answerable!
To you and your siblings

The way she had been to her elders

For she’s a mere nothing, a mother
