Broken Future

She sits there;
Only those few moments has stolen to rest,
But her mind in sorrow,
Contemplating on who she would have been in life

He Future destroyed;
By those who gave her life,
They could've sent her to college
But they sent her to marriage

Regret;
A pain in her heart,
A memory she can't escape,
Caught up in this trap.

Her dignity is lost;
To some man of the past,
Forced on her,
And they say it's tradition

Little girl wonders;
"My peers are in uniforms;
Holding pen learning to become nurses,"
While she holds broom learning to be a wife.
