The banishment 

I was a little foetus inside you, 

Ready to change your life and make it new. 

I was all set to bring warmth and love in our lives

Be a good kid and make you smile. 


I was being nurtured by you and dad, 

But sometimes your conversations really made me sad. 

Often you both questioned my sex, 

Thinking about what I am… 

Wondering what would happen next. 

You brought only bikes and cars for me, 

Unaware of the fact that I am a She. 




Days passed by and everything  seemed alright, 

I was healthy and happy and not a day seemed shabby. 

I waited with bated breath to call you my Mother, 

Yearned  to learn new things from my superhero Father. 


But then… 

What got into you Mother? 

Why didn’t you accept me? 

Why did you throw me out of your womb? 

Days were passing merrily,

And I was growing with the thought that even though I was a She-

You both equally loved and wanted me. 


But I was sadly mistaken. 

You have proved me wrong. 

Mother why didn’t you let my life last long? 

I had so much hope and love in me… 

But you banished me even before I was born.
