today, a month has passed by
of her going to a school nearby
always behind her bearded spouse, she walked the norm,
the sari being her school uniform.
child marriage, her relation had a name
post marriage, her studies went lame
she cried before her in laws
who didn't realise their flaws
time passed, paint on walls turned light
but atlast her perseverance gave her a delight
for she went to school again
although all her schoolish fun slain
she studied and she cooked
loads of duties on a child's back
today, her destiny left her shattered
a child's emotions, all tattered
when a lad, her classmate
gave her a rose, an informal date
and all she could do was apologise
I am old enough to take roses, came her faint noise
