I am not
a piece of glass
ready to be shined and polished
prepared to be shown around
picked and admired
until the next customer chooses
I am not
a traditional woman
silent and bashful
excited about recipes and bells
one that speaks only when spoken to
I am not
perfect
perfectly desi, if that's what you mean
I am
mapping my future according to
my whims and choices,
kind, and determined
to be the best I can be
I am
what I want to be
what women want to be
what every woman strives to be
before you try to strap us
in your version of perfect glass
Unfortunately for you
I will always be
What I want to be
