Dil on Discount

Dil on Discount

Ya ! I am a 28 years old divorcee.

& my gloomy future I foresee.

Incompatibility  made us apart,

Prudent , we were on our part.

Reproved by society,

I have no reason to glee.

 With fulsome eyes I’m seen,

No matter, wrong I haven’t been.

 “A divorcee gets a divorcee”

This is the mentality I see.

“You are already used!”

Hearing this made me diffuse..

Society treated me like a drone,

Later to it ,I was prone.

Of wisdom, bereft was society.

So here I cry before the almighty.

Parents goggle for new mate,

To turn my life ...again well set.

 Rancorous all was turning,

My innocent soul was burning.

Sold like a second hand car..

Why for a divorcee such a bar?

 Divorcee is criminal’s new synonym,

It’s the picture- to all seem.

But then I decided...

Like a pariah, I won’t live,

As in myself I believe.

 To effeminate customs I reject,

A new seed ...in it I inject.

 27 yrs , working women I was,

So nowhere I was in loss.

 I decided to live alone,

Self confidence was later reborn.

Ya...I am a divorcee ...but so what??!!

I have my esteem at paramount,

And I disagree to give my Dil on Discount...DIL ON DISCOUNT..!!
