An Autobiography of a doormat
I'm walked, I'm beaten and wrecked upon;
With not a bit of mercy,
Hi, it’s me the doormat lying
On the floor,
And here's my tiny life story.
I opened my eyes on the apex of a sapling;
Was greeted by the Sun's sultry face.
Being a juvenile
I was enthusiastic,
Unknown of the fact of having
a million footsteps to trace.
I got plucked and was sent to a factory;
There I was shaped to be an entity,
afraid of being subjected to a tragedy,
was in the hope of a day
when I'd be used as a commodity.
But now a sense of regret
do I feel,
'Coz with no mercy lowered is my dignity;
I'm worn, beaten, ragged and left bruised,
To corrode under the fact that
If this continues,
I'll soon turn as a prophecy.
I've realized that they've no respect for me,
Hence the bang my soft face against their feet
Sadistically,
I don't know why they forget to understand,
That my heart too burns, Under the flames of their ego,
Lady toast served, Gradually.

This poem that I have written viz. The autobiography of a doormat is one of my favorite ones in my collection as it was one of my firsts. It is majorly centered on the discrimination that women are facing in the orthodox societies around the world. It deals with issues like women abuse, gender discrimination and others. Hope you guys like it.
