She’s
a phenomenal woman!
She surfaced from the ashes,
And yet burnt,
For enflaming removes all the undesired thoughts
That bestir in the mind
Due to familial and societal pressures
Making her feel like a reflection of others.
She
wanted an unadulterated version of herself,
Innate to her own dreams!
She
learnt to say “No” in her tramp-like journey,
For
in her “No” encamped her strength
That
was necessary in her quest.
She faltered. Not once, not twice, but
many-a-times.
She learnt to accept her brokenness with a
smile.
Her firepower wasn’t in losing,
It resided in accepting her mistakes and moving
on.
She knew that she would be a trail-blazer
someday!
She
wasn’t born with a silver spoon,
But she kept creating
silver
