NORMS

To be seen but not heard
The kitchen, your dwelling place
Outside, forbidden to speak
You hold your peace

The kitchen, your dwelling place
The other rooms, your death bed
You hold your peace
Within, a shadow always

The other rooms, your death bed
You lie still in mourning
Within, a shadow always
You have no freedom

You lie still in mourning
Outside, forbidden to speak
You have no freedom
To be seen but not heard
