Woman awaits.

Your conforms have shackled me ,
In this archaic , rusted metal. 
The blasphemy has subsumed me ,
In your boundless chattel .
The order of life settled,
Been euphoric for you , 
Has hearten your mettle,
But things slated for me are all black and blue. 
My reticence ,
Was never a choice.
My silk gown dignified me ,
My virginity ,my innocence ,
Affirmed my poise. 
My eyes did say ,
Through the adorned tulle 
Of the veil 
My hands did shiver
In the sheer lacy gloves.
But I didn't condemn this aurae. 
Because I wasn't supposed to ,
Utter a word.
A queen wasn't supposed to 
Be as absurd. 
In the taut corset ,
My heart died at each pump. 
But my friend says ,
"You'll get used to it ,
To this doom forfeited."
In the clamor of the men ,
Raising their wine glass
And laughing,
At the gala then , 
I perceived the farse. 
The hypocrisy I saw ,
How they hailed their queen,
And how their jaws gnawed ,
At each lace of her self-esteem. 
My lips had words to spill ,
My brain had dreams to knit. 
My hands had desire to labour ,
For the toils I wasn't supposed to fit-in. 
But the modest crown 
From the clouded age 
Was ponderous on my thoughts 
Which , it thinks to be adown. 
 But my musing do sojourn ,
 To an abode 
 Where they do not mourn 
 women.
I better , well, anticipate 
A tomorrow of acceptance.
Where they acquiesce
Where they concur for a repentance. 
I long for my heart to inflate ,
For the corset to be redundant.
I desire my gown to not be a requisite 
My world awaits ,
A turn of fortune,
For the woman mordant 
And free.
