There is this girl #poetry

There is this girl ,
She might wear modern dress , maybe speak about women empowerment and all,
But deep within she is the first born, broughtup with the values and stories from her parents and grandparents ....
She might not be easy going,
And she might not be easy leaving.
She is what she is.
Nothing more , nothing less!
She would not prefer pubs or night clubs, she might not prefer parties or crowds,
She just loves her loneliness,
Her stability and independence,
She loves that she is a provider and a nurturer,
But she also silently needs all that,
She wants to be taken careof,
Because at heart ,
Very deep within,
She is a traditional girl,
Fighting many battles,
Being strong,
But also silently hurting,
And maybe a little too alone.
It's okay if nobody understands her ,
She knows that we all came alone and we do go alone.
But it's not okay when you think she is a "little too much", "over", has "old mentality", "difficult to handle" .
She is what she is,
Nothing more,
Nothing less.
And deep within,
Very deep within,
She wants to be taken careof,
Felt secured,
Had someone on her side when she fought her own battles!
Can you please see what I see in her ?
Cause she is all pretty, kind-hearted and strong.
And she wants to be understood!
