Role | Jayawanti Patil

A woman, a daughter, a mother, a mentor

life touches upon thy severalty.

You are one constant with

own chores and responsibility.

Sometimes, you need valor, ferocity,

little care, help and dignity.

Even the GOD must live thee

only with different complexity.

I know, you are above me

You embrace mortality.

You encompass the universe

I, a mere singularity.

Ironic, I feel, I am thee

oblivious to my own fragility.

Glorified for being you

I smile at its vanity.

Still, I trade between thee

endlessly judged for compatibility.

Often, I want to be without thee

relentlessly questioning my individuality.

Role, such is thy nature that

I do not understand thee.

Even if I ceased to be

you prevail till eternity.
