Waiting ...
Being an Indian woman
endurance is an ingrained trait
Against all odds and reason,
with hope, I continued to wait
One more welt has been added
to my scars of many years
I turn my back on you today
but only to hide my flowing tears
To wipe the slate and start again
it is far too late
I watch the children sleeping
and continue to listlessly wait
