Woman.

Don't eat fast. Don't forget to chew. Eat right. 

Sleep early at night.

Pray. Have faith.

Behave. You are wrong and never right.

Be safe, not late.
Act like a lady. Cross your legs.

Compose. Stand straight.

Patience. Keep quite.

Smile. Not too wide.
Respect. Don't raise your voice. 

Be polite. Lower your eyes.

Do not laugh. Show grace.

Ignore, when being stared.

Don't scream, it's only pain.

Be honest. Not too honest.

Dress up. Cover your skin.

Careful, when you lean.

Too tight, too short.

Too loose, too long.

Too dark. So pale. 

Put on make-up. Little less.

So tall. Not curvy enough.

So short. Not skinny enough.

Accept. Don't dream big. 

Understand. Limit curiosity.

Be unique. Restrained creativity.

Marry him. Don't marry him.

Not so young. Be responsible.  

 Not so old. Don't question.

A daughter. A sister. A wife. A lover.

A sigh of despair, fulfills her role.
A devotee. A sacrificer. A prisoner. A pardoner. 

A woman, just a confined soul.
