Born a Girl, Born to Suffer, Born to Die,
The family never wanted to hear a Girl's cry.
"This is the Mother's Fault. We wanted a Boy"
Not sure if the Father said it,
Or he silently stood by.

Born a Boy, Born to Ascend, Born to Shine,
"He will fulfil every undone dream of mine."
Can only boys make the family proud?
Then maybe they alone can extend the Family line.

Scared to take that silent street, talking to self,
"What's following me? Is it a silhouette?"
It's 8? This 'shameless girl' isn't home yet.
It's 12?Boys can have fun. They can roam.
Thank your stars she came safely back home.

Her Lips, Red enough to slutshame her,
Out late at night? Blame her.
Her Dress, Revealing enough to troll her shape,
"She smokes, She drinks? This all leads to rape!"
Her lifestyle, Perfect basis to judge her,
Society's mindset - Enough to slaughtHER.
