Forgotten

by Sandhya Advani

Forgotten I'm a woman
My long nails cut off
Don't need any adornment
Just purify me
With a caring heart

Forgotten the pangs of desire
The cravings of being loved
Barriers around me now
No more pain
Just pure existence!

Forgotten my smiles
My laughter,
Only one focus
To prove my worth
In this ever-changing world

The past is just a memory
Time has hardened me
Standing up after every fall
Bruised, scratched, embittered
Forging ahead...

Now I'm cold, unfeeling
Ice around my heart
Maybe some day,
The ice will melt
And I'll feel like a woman again.
