A timid teen decked in bridal wear entered Shah House
Looked up to her elders as her own and bore in her heart deep love for her man
Trusting and naive she bore the taunts and sarcasm dished out all day
Unmindful of the slights she stoically bore the tag Loser.
Her wings slipped, her voice gagged she forgot she could sing snd fly
Three kids and a quarter century later she decked up in bridal wear
Bashful yet thrilled to renew her vows
What a horrendous sight met her eye
Realization dawned her marriage was a lie
She didn't breathe a word of the breach of faith
Alone when cried her heart out goad by her friend
A slitherein adversary hatched a plot
The truth was out in plain sight of all
The matriarch as always defended her son
The house was split in support of the adulterer and those thinking otherwise
She distanced herself performed the wedding of a son
Grateful for every rupee earned snd worked at managing the home within her means
She rid the cancer that rankled her body and that which afflicted her being
The man and his mistress sea lo Ed their vows
Happy she was to bid adieu
The patriarch sought that s h e should stay
Overwhelmed by his gesture she stayed
Every day was an ordeal with fights and blame were hers to face
To make matters worse folks list their jo b s one at a time
The earning son was lured away,
The new daughter however was here to stay
A friend takes her to the college reunion
She meets the man that hatboured live for her
A debonair business tycoon intent to help out
A job offer is made based on her pitch
The family again splits in the middle
The man and his coterie resort to emotional theats and taunts
Broken she seeks refuge in her work
Her friend arrives and plays devils advocate
Reminding she rise like a Phoenix to inspire others
With a bigger purpose ahead she asserts she was no longer in the fringes
She was in the spotlight as the star player
The man seathing in rage and envy and attems to break her spirit along with his army of idiots
Steely in her resolve she's ready to face the new life ahead
