Let Me Be

Open Eyed How I Run
How I Run To The Other Side
Open Eyed How I Run
How I Run To The Other Side
Then I Glide Like A Bird
I Just Want To Be

I feel this sentence from the song of TZP is written for everyone who want to themselves.........Does not want their identity to be lost....

We all learn that we should be ourselves, never loose our identity. Be yourself, believe in yourself...But in reality how many of us live our own way, we are all tied to the clutches of the so called society and old custom especially when you are girl/women.....

They say Women are liberated, but in reality still there are some custom which does not allow them to be free. Still they are made to follow certain rules...In some south Indian family they even compel to wear flower in their head and the same flower is again snatched from them bitterly when they loose their husband. You cannot even wear your favorite attire. Liking and disliking is insisted according to the custom, you don't have any say on it...

You know my Mom is searching a groom for me, a proposal came, they asked what is my name, i said Nisha, they said it a Muslim name. They even asked me to change my name if I want to marry their son.

That is rude na, girls always have to loose their identity, they cannot be themselves after they move to another family. I don't see guys doin the same, they wear and be the same even they are married...They don't give up anything for their spouse. That is not fare...

Tell me! How can I be Me, when I am goin to loose my Identity one day???
