The day she is born
her struggle blooms with thorns!
She is a bright light
here to claim her right
But society restricts her at every sight
“ Not knowing or understanding her worth,
the world is meant to witness her shine! ”
No field stands beyond her reach,
where she doesn’t rise
Her world is hidden between
glass and concrete walls
yet unshaken, she rises tall.
Yet, her wings still search
for the open sky
She was never born to live confined
nor to shrink beneath the stage
But to rise beyond every cage
You have no right
to dim her light
for she is here to
transform fate and lives!
