I struggled to stay happy,

But they tried to judge me. 

I found my joy in glass bangles, 

But they broke it in front me. 

Running hands through my hairs, 

Adjusting my duppatta, 

I smiled at my own goodness,

When people laughed at my existence. 

But not conforming to the societal norms, 

Leaving the mirror that lied,

I embraced my inner self.
