She
It was during one of those monotonous metro rides back home (which strangely have been the trigger of a hell lot of random musings) that i spotted this woman, around 25, married, mother to this super active child who kept hopping around. What caught my attention though were her melancholic, deep eyes. She kept staring into a void of sorts all through, unaffected by the contagious energy of her child who left everyone else smiling. She left me rather pensive. Spilling a few words helped.
A thousand faces.
I seek inspiration,
to fill these blank pages.
That woman,
staring into nothingness.
The load of responsibilities,
perhaps taking a toll.
Is it the weight of those black beads?
The red colour?
Is she not happy?
I know not.
Deep brown eyes bear the color pale.
Has her soul been caged?
I know not.
A shout into the void?
I hear only the anklets.
Those bangles the only color.
All this time,
she did not give up.
For me, she's a warrior.
She IS a warrior.
