A Collection Of Poems: On The Other Side Of A Career Woman
Original poems on the other side of a woman’s career journey.
Notified
Being notified
Isn’t exactly
The nectar of life.
When hardship blows by,
Your name is the first
They think in mind.
Ache
I feel it everyday
The reluctance in my vein;
Tiredness in my breath
And where confusion shreds.
I feel its every weight.
Measured with full range
Of sacrifice I take
And its awaking ache.
But.
Give-up is not there
Written in my playbook.
I won’t contemplate
For such simple shook.
A Workaholic
They mutter
“The Belle of the ball”,
They whisper
“The intellectual of all”.
But why
They make her suffer?
With rumors and twisted facades
Where their expectation buffers.
