Now she is older,
she will receive no schooling.
Trapped in tradition.

She, told to be quiet.
The quiet shows hidden pain.
Trapped in tradition.

She receives few rights,
must obey parents wishes.
Trapped in tradition.

Clean each room in…out,
faultlessness is the key here.
Trapped in tradition.

Paper won’t protect
no serenity falters.
Trapped in tradition.

Only sit seiza,
a perfect ninety degrees.
Trapped in tradition.

Don’t break the normal.
You are the same as your friend.
Trapped in tradition.

You cannot escape.
Stuck in similar routines.
Trapped in tradition.
