india has no place for creativity

we are told to copy the answer from the reference book

to write it exactly as the teacher says

we all draw the same house with a river and the sun in between two mountains

and the birds that look like 3s

we dont live in houses like that nor does a river run by our house

yet we all drew it the same for that's what we were thought

creativity is punished, it is not according to the grading rubric

we are not allowed to be ourselves to think for ourselves

even in creative writing assignments they give us the plot and tell us to write the story

why even bother naming it creative writing if you're just concerned about our sentence structure?

we are not allowed to be independent or to think for ourselves

we have to consider what will our teachers think, parents think, the society at large will think?

nobody considers how we think how we feel

we are made to be robots parroting our parents or someone else who is charismatic enough

all independent thoughts are quashed by people, any line of questioning leads to being called an idiot,stupid

am i an idiot for not blindly following you?

we are not people we are being molded into machines to let the country continue according to the whims of the few at the top

this world won't ever let me be enough

it will always demand more and more and more

and i will give and give and give

for if i dont i will be a selfish bitch who doesnt care for anyone but her

for this world's ideal woman is a doormat and unpaid helper someone who is quiet and satisfying to other's desire who is not a person just a doll to do as is told

my girlhood isnt mine alone

how can it be when my mother was living through me

when her mother was living through her?

i wasn't allowed to just be myself,

i was a daughter,sister, an extension of my family first

myself second
