Women Like Me Poem by Shuchika Sahay

Women Like Me

Rating: 1.0


They live their lives on their terms
They are all women like me as such
They don’t fret over their past
They don’t obsess with future much

They drive their cars and their
view points, with the same alacrity
From Mumbai to Manhattan
Their stories weaved in one tapestry

They loved their men ruthlessly
To each one they were true
Fear and biological clocks apart
They shrug the going aways with little rue

Lunch can be forsaken, niceties as well
Dinners and dates can go cold
But they jump up enthused, at midnight
For the mad dream that they hold

These are women like me as such
Devoid of seduction, free of clairvoyance
Their tales many muted mutinies
Mired in morality, also an act of defiance
