So it is declared-
I’m a criminal
My biggest crime is
Being a woman
Second is that
I am married
Still I seek freedom!
And I didn’t stop there
I even have some dreams…
How could I?
When I’m kitchen queen?
No! No! correction here
Not queen
I’m a slave
Still I took the liberty
To weave life
Being an unpaid employee
How dare I?
Attempt one more crime?
My job is to
Keep everyone happy
Though they will
Always find a way
To make me feel guilty
How could I deny?
That I have not done
The crime?
Since I’m accused of
Coping well with smiles
Although its a luxury
To which I have no right!
Being happy while
Living a miserable life
Is my next crime!
How can I outshine?
So being a criminal
It’s my punishment
To suffer till
Last day of my life!
As there is no escape
From this jail
I am Trapped!
And no one can
Give my bail.
P.S.-Not every poem of mine is my own story! Sometimes they are inspired by situations around me.
Wings Of Poetry 
Correct.

Our male dominated society, treats women like a slave, property or a display thing who don’t have the freedom to express themselves and its really a very unfortunate and shameful way to behave towards one who are in no means less than them!
Thank you Radhika for your views!

Not just one or two there are many factors which force us to bind ourselves to that trap…even when we dislike it! This is how our society is framed.

I can’t come out of this trap true!
But who said
I will stop living dude?
I will paint dreams
On campus of my soul
And will achieve
My new set goals
You can trap me, but
No! You can’t stop
My growth…
Can never stop
My growth
As I’m
Not fire of gas stove
I’m burning desire like sun
Which can give light to
Your whole globe!!
Never underestimate
Power of even
Trapped woman 🙂
