She walks
Anklets tinkling
Bangles laughing
Shhh!
They say
Obey
Be quiet
Making himself seen
Dirt hugging his skin
Football clutched to heart
My boy
They say
So talented
Gifted
Don’t raise your voice
A woman is good
Only as long as
Disobeying isn’t her talent
Praised is the boy
Smart he is
When disobedience is
His only talent
I am participating in the WriteTribe Pro Blogger Challenge where the prompt for the day is Disobedience.

Writing to me is therapy, it frightens and comforts at the same time. Liberates like nothing else. A book in my own name is a dream, but a bigger dream would be to write something that haunts the reader even after the last page is turned and the book is shut. I enjoy reading and music, spending time with family whilst battling my social awkwardness.

Sadly, that does seem to be the case. Hoping the future holds better tidings, but society has to accept that it has to change with the times, and not the times having to change for the society.
