That was the time,

I realized-

Someone was listening to me, to my heart!

My heart , filled with joy

Was clapping in all its happiness

Someone could hear it!

My happiness when I feels

Someone is safe inside me

My worry when He says

Someone is sad inside me

The moment my heart

Burst out in tears

Someone listens to it

Like a keen student learning-

The first letter!

This is the day

Someone would call me 'mamma'

I slept quietly dreaming

Of the most innocent face of a heart!

I woke up from my sleep

The moment I felt Am I living in Earth?

Yes, but in the midst of devils!

My brain was right

My heart has dead

The most innocent face has been eradicated;

She is no more.

This is poem about the male domination and the parents who curze their faith when they are more blessed with a baby girl. 'Listening to my heart' also showcases the feeling of a mother.
