"Echoes of Desperation" "INDIAN UNEDUCATED VILLAGE HOUSEWIFE"

In suffocating darkness, I'm chained,
A prisoner of norms, my soul in pain!

Beyond wife, maid, ovary, and duty's might,
I BEG TO BE SEEN, IN THE LIGHT OF MY RIGHT!

Oh, when will you hear my anguished cry?
When will you see the real me, before I die?

A lifetime of silence, of suppressed dreams,
A slow death, in this ocean of stifling screams.

God, is anyone listening?!
DO YOU HEAR MY PLEA?!
I'M MORE THAN FLESH, MORE THAN BONE,
I'M A SOUL, TRAPPED, ALONE!

Break these chains, shatter this cage,
LET ME BE, LET ME RAGE!

I'M NOT JUST A WIFE, I'M A HUMAN BEING,
I'M NOT JUST A BODY, I'M A HEART THAT'S BLEEDING!

HEAR ME, SEE ME, SET ME FREE,
BEFORE I DISAPPEAR, INTO ETERNITY

A prisoner of norms, my soul in pain!
So true for so many!
