Theme: Self-worth 


Oh, child,

You have grown;

Into something completely unknown!

The morning breeze you once loved

Vanish into the sorrows of your despair.


She kept screaming:

Help! I am drowning! 

The anguish of her convictions to their expressions,

Lead her in the deep trenches of the ocean


Her outbursts of questions—

She thought I was enough.

She exclaimed and argued,

Was it enough? 


Oh, the adversary of those who perceives,

That woman is great!

They all believed

She pondered and questioned, how will she compete when she's seen?


The oppression of the oppressor,

Used to petrify a pathetic soul

How it agonizes her whole being,

They chuckled at her situation.


She could not run freely anymore;

Stunned into the thoughts of giving up.

Was it foolishness,

To live carefreely?
