Dated: 10 October 2001 <br /> <br />Hard to forget <br />Hard to tolerate <br />the old old memories <br />the present furies <br />tribulations are strong <br />calculations go wrong <br />Woman, I am <br />So should remain calm? <br />If someone cannot help <br />you to happiness, <br />Let them not make <br />Life a turbulence <br />Parents to be in laws <br />forget their own kin <br />why did i leave my child <br />and go back to work <br />Is is to support their loans? <br />no use in killing my days <br />dragging in buses <br />books and unending issues <br />why don't they understand <br />respecting me as a woman <br />why cant the in-laws <br />be my parents too? <br />working at the cost <br />of my child's childhood <br />at the cost of health <br />and losing my own peace <br />Is this another form of dowry <br />grabbing all my hard earned money <br />God will see to every selfish fish <br />Just leave the troubles at his feet<br /><br />Umasree Raghunath<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/woman-i-am-born-to-tolerate/
