THE VALIANT SOUL
Radiant eyes and alluring face
She is not just a charm
Behind that tender veil
But this valorous soul,
Is trapped by the world in a cage,
Why? Only because she is a female?!!
She paves her own way
With her head held high
Breaking away
From the orthodox chain,
As despite all the taunts
And the numerous hurdles,
From chasing her dreams,
She must not refrain.
They see her as a fragile flower
But she is stronger than ever
She was born with a fire within her
With which she is,
All set to light up the future!
Some say, “She’s a girl, she can’t fight!”
But they don’t know the daily fights,
she has within,
Others say, “She’s a woman, she must not step out!!”
Only to keep her wondering
What they really meant by out.
“Out” from home? Or this cage?
“Out” from the shackles of society?
Or from this state of disdain?
Are they afraid to set her free,
For she might make a mark without thee,
Or do they constantly need someone at their beck and call?
To always feel mightiest of them all?
For they’re afraid of her to be free,
To be defined not as fragile,
but a woman of steel,
For now, they’re afraid,
As they know,
And that soon she will show,
That she’s a queen and she will reign,
And that from coming in her way
they must abstain,
Since she’s on a mission to define new horizons,
A mission greater than the birth of this earth’s sons,
A mission even greater than her singular existence,
And thus despite the long distance,
She must reach the mountain top
For in this era, she just simply cannot stop!
