All she wants is to be treated as
One of them, part of them,
Adjusting with
Husband and in-laws,
Their ways, tastes, values,
Like liquid taking shape of the vessel
Alas she lost her own identity
Often she is made to wonder
If she is a part of them
Or like liquid that can be emptied
.....And replaced?

OSI Prompt : Liquid
9 comments:
A common problem excellently expressed.
You describe trying to fit in and being wanted very well. Almost like the new bride and her new family. Hopefully not emptied out in the end.
Such deep and insecure thoughts expressed here.
powerful writing. she may be in a difficult situation, but i think she can adjust in the near future.
beautifully written, such behemoth of words...
Pages off Life
Nicely written in the bride's viewpoint, Harshad. I hate it that liquid emptying thoughts are in her mind.
Here is hoping for her sake that these thoughts can go away.

This is gripping. In-laws have to power to kill off young, vulnerable life.
What a beutiful way to express the truth that has always been known but never accepted...hopefully the coming generation will change things..
I was throughout under impression that I had linked to OSI and alas, today I saw I hadn;t..so did...because otherwise it would have been first time since I started that I would have missed..OSI..
RS:)
i like the vulnerability of liquid in your poem Hashard
much love...
