I am just another angry woman
Who screams and cries pressing a pillow against her mouth.
I am just another angry woman
Whose father abounds her in her own house,
Leaving behind no scope for dreams and aspirations.
I am just another angry woman
Who screams inside
While her mother can never take her side.
I am just another angry woman
Who screams awild
When her brother says she can’t party tonight.
I am just another angry woman
Who bites her lips
When her husband tries to wound her soul.
I am just another angry woman
Who washes and cleans
While her mother in law goes to a beauty dream.
I am just another angry woman
Who completes the school book
While her carefree son goes on to his father’s good books.
I am just another angry woman
Who vows to take her daughters side
If only I knew how it would be astride.
I am just another angry woman.
I am just another angry woman.

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts.
There are many of us with the raging anger and yet somehow chained by something or someone.

I agree,
I don’t have an answer but I think may be we consider about others a lot more than we should.

We need to help our men feel less threatened by us.

That would help a lot!
But sometimes, it’s the women too who are responsible for such chains and bounds. If not for herself then for someone else. And that is much more saddening.

Yes, many women try to bind other women and their daughters. Maybe it’s how they see their culture or they are repeating what happened to them. We women have to support each other.

Yes, but it’s the struggle that I wanted to show. Any ways, what’s more important is to realise that being just angry isn’t the solution, taking steps are, though small ones at a time.
