There’s still a lot of pressure from society upon women
The kind that prevents her from becoming
Anything more than a ‘second-class citizen’
More than ‘the procurer of the genetic-lineage, in procreative-service’
More than a glamorous profile picture, wall-paper, calendar, screen-saver, accessory
More than carer, cook, au pair, affair, or nanny
Often the weight of relationship-responsibility
Prevents one from fulfilling ones true-vocational destiny
From uncovering that hidden, latent potential, deep within every individual
Denies the opportunity to discover and follow what that actually might be?
And so it can become a bit-of-a-struggle
To balance relationship, kids, career, leisure, pleasure, ambition, and maybe also survival
Perhaps also a battle to fight for ones right to an education if ones family
Is not well-off, supportive or stable
Maybe one lives in or is from a Muslim or third world country?
Where one may suddenly find oneself given away as a child, or teenage bride
By ones own family
And so modern-day opportunities are put aside
Instead centuries of tradition, dogma, stigma or religious-doctrine
Is thrust upon, prevented from:
‘Falling in Love’ and following ones heart, for example
Limited by having ones life-path or life-partner pre-chosen
Designed to promote subservience, to know ones place, and fit in
Rather than being able to feel: ‘secure within ones own-skin‘
Through empowerment, bliss, and freedom
Disallowed from making ones own wrong-choices too
On the experiential path of self-knowledge, growth and understanding
From maturing, growing out of old illusions in ones own time, gracefully
For even now, in-this-day-and-age, there still persists a super-massive infringement of personal-Liberty
Even from other women
