this is so interesting... it shows that there's a dynamic here

#

the wife just being a yes man and the husband being the breadwinner with the big plans

#

she takes care of their children, does what she is expected to do as a wife but does she really want that for herself?

#

what if her silence is her becoming distant to her lifestyle

*what if her silence

is her becoming distant

to her lifestyle*

So this poem is about my uncle’s marriage. He grew up in the 70s/80s in a culture where they teach women to not talk when men are talking and to only live for their parents, then their husbands, then for their children

#

Sadly this is the reality of many women who are only wives and mothers

#

They do not have a say in anything

#

And the husband is at fault but also he simply doesn’t have the emotional intelligence to understand his wife because truly nobody told him that wives are humans just like him with dreams, hopes, fears…

#

My aunt wishes to go to university but she has 3 kids and can’t really. Especially as one of them needs special attentions

The series is about women in my life and I wish I can write poems where they are the ones who speak for once

#

And it’s titled “No One Told Me She Had Dreams”

#

I’m visiting my parents’ country in a few weeks and I wish to take notes and kinda like interviews

#

Not sure if you know Muriel Rukeyser poetry

#

But I kinda want to write some in a similar style
