The strongest one



Her brother yelled
as he didn't get the best bat
for the cricket was important
while she read from his handed down books
with delight

So it was her final professional viva
she came out weeping
'oh how weak' people exclaimed
the examiner asked her dad's profession
he passed away yesterday

'Leave your profession
doctors aren't marriage material'
said he
she left him
'oh what a bitch'

Oh she doesn't know any traditions
for marriages could not be materialized
there has to be same caste
she chose this
couldn't run away now

'Oh where did she go'
vanished from the middle of the meeting
what a loser
couldn't stop her puke
her first trimester

Oh what a cranky kid
she couldn't train her well
what a mess
she gave her pieces to it
will keep giving
and the story continues
because she is the strongest one
the strongest within
