If I am a girl child I will be recognized soon <br />and will be killed in womb, <br />If I survived I will be born to grow <br />as a second grade life in comparison to boys in home, <br />If I grow well I will be treated in society as doll, <br />having no feelings for her but to prove herself in conditions all, <br />In my youth I will be married to a man of my parents choice <br />by giving dowry to in laws <br />I had to live as a good wife in my married life, <br />If I am a home maker I had to give birth and make a family <br />and embrace hardship of being mother in life <br />killing her own feelings in fumes. <br />when I will become old I will be treated, <br />as burden by my own children and will die in distress and found that I had done nothing for my own, <br />and had treated myself as a girl child killed in womb.<br /><br />hemu gupta<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/being-a-girl-child-in-india/
