RISING TO BE A BOND WOMAN

Bonded with a human coil I came, just like you
Bonded by the love, I learnt, just like you.
Unbounding the bonds, I tried, just like you

Bold, yet profound to break some bonds.
Chosen for me, to define me
I broke, to define myself

Balming broken spine and crushed spirit
Beyond count, I fall and rise
Emerge like a bondwoman

A journey, not a destination
Seeking a silver line in every dark cloud
Bonding beyond bonds to be a bond forever.
