Entitled! Poem by Aarzoo Mehek

Entitled!

Rating: 4.9


Self-centered I'm not
Not moulding my existence
To suit your whims
Don't banish me as an egocentric
I'm not a toy to be twisted
I'm entitled to my opinion
And silence is what I choose.

Wow, so well written, Just a thin line segregate the two self-respect and egocentric and often people misunderstand and it does happen very often with every woman in one or the other way......And I call it Error of judgement. A thought provoking and Profound poem, Aarzoo.10++++

Hi Aarzoo, Wow! Excellent. And silence is what I choose. A simple statement, but with profound, deep boldness. One can keep silent when one is entitled to one's opinion, only if he/she is gifted with thorough conviction; superb self confidence. A most difficult task. With very few simple words, you have, in effect, unleashed a storm. And left the reader to imagine the response of the one who is spoken to. Great work. Aarzoo, what I find in your poems is that, your ghazals are quite eloquent, reaching out to the reader. On the other hand, the other poems, English especially, are characterised by extreme brevity. Of course, brevity is what makes poetry great. Loved reading.10++

Powerful write. I love the tone of self-assurance. Here is a strong woman who knows her worth n value. I would not characterize it as a feminist write. It is much more than that. It is a human voice that can speak loud but has chosen silence as the language to express herself. Very significant work.10 definitely.

Silence is golden. Develop one's own opinion using all knowledge.
