What Never to Tell Your Daughters

by Shikha S. Lamba


Paint landscapes with compromise.

Be strong enough to sit with grief.

Melancholy will only get you so far.

Acceptability and surrender will be the foundations

keeping your life stable. Life can be beautiful,

if you learn to stretch the meaning of beauty into denial.
