She wakes before the sun; while, he sleeps until
the dusk is dawn & dusted, why?
Everyone’s cuppa is piping hot;
while, her cup tastes like thin gruel, why?
Everyone goes for breakfast, lunch & dinner;
while, she goes only for brunch & dinner, why?
He makes tea once in a lifetime & becomes a star;
while, she does dishes every day to get ignored as global warming, why?
He is educated with all their soul & blood;
while, her career is paused as an unwound cocoon, why?
She is cursed for visiting her friend’s dying father at night;
while, she is compelled to drop him at the depot, late at night,
to make up his timely journey to his friend’s wedding, why?
He gets alcoholic, they call it “The depression”;
While; she gets workaholic who bursts once in blue-moon,
they call her “The melodrama”, why?
He orders a beard supplement and stays intellectual;
while, she orders a book they call, “The misery”, why?
He loses all the savings and yet celebrated for the rest of his life;
While; she gave up on everything for them yet remains an ignored cobweb, why?
His advice becomes the divine vows;
while, her suggestions are engulfed in toxicity, why?
He announces the love of his life; the festival begins;
while, she serves a cup of coffee for her male friend and gets called upon by names, why?
The prince continues to live his dreams uninterrupted;
while, her uninvited urge to stay with the desist,
intrusive, conflictive parents continues to grow, why?
