The weight she carries
People say the world is moving forward, And that a lady should keep herself for marriage. Her value is in her body, that's what they say, And I agree with that in my own way. But what if the people meant to protect her fail? What if she has no one to depend on? The world tells her to get a job and survive, Even when she has no strength or way to start. So she tries to move forward on her own, And meets a man who says he'll help. He also believes a woman should stay pure, But he asks for her body before he helps. How did a woman's worth get tied to her body? There's no single answer, just many reasons. Life looks easy from the outside, But inside it's full of pain no one hears. So respect to every girl fighting alone, Building a life with nothing to start with. She may not show her struggle, But she deserves applause for not giving up.
