What if you were born as a girl and
Your father abandons, your mom
For not birthing a boy?
She couldn't return to her maiden home
Out of shame and left you at a
Temple door to jump in a well.
The childless priest raises you as his
Own and years later when you wash
The stairs of the temple, as a morning ritual..
You feed a hungry old man who was
Kicked out of his home by his son.
A thought crosses your mind to make you
Wonder if you're an adopted orphan..
Then the temple bell rings after the aarti
To bring you back to your senses.
