Yes I'm A Girl

It's a poem I wrote on the behalf of every single girl in this world who are being shut down!

Yes I'm A Girl

I believe in the sunrise, in the sky

it tells me, let not your hope die

For it is hope that keeps us alive

Yet I'm another girl, to prosper and thrive

I have a right, to have my rights

For my dreams I can fight

I can shoot for the stars

No matter how deep are my scars

Who said if I'm a girl,

I don't belong out in the world

Who said, my duty is merely to cook, clean and breed

Don't underestimate, to the whole world I can lead

Dear parents, you always want a son

Give me a chance I can be the one

I won't leave you stranded when you get old,

I carry a heart which isn't cold

Dear society, don't cut my wings so I can't fly

I'm a girl with dreams, my dreams never die

Every time I speak up for my rights,

you shut me down, it's cowardly's height

 

Stop calling me someone else's property,

I belong to no one else but me

I'm capable of living life by my own

Need no one else to be strong

I'm not burden but blessing,

to the whole world I'm addressing

Yes, I am proud to be a girl,

without me there is not world

What a powerful, fierce, free write that confesses the strength and sacred dreams of every girl who faces the voices that try and keep you silent; who try and suffocate your dreams. Keep your voice ever strong. And even "If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced" - Vincent Van Gogh. xo

Powerful and needed words.
"I'm not burden but blessing,
to the whole world I'm addressing
Yes, I am proud to be a girl,
without me there is not world"

But speaking up for your rights is really a big deal. Everyone should shout out for their rights. And this is for every single girl. Out side of Pakistan there are many countries many homes in which equality isn't provided.
I am very glad you liked it.
Thanks A lot for commenting ^_^

It is a shame when need to voice equality, is still felt.
I liked how you touched all the avenues of discrimination and aptly penned them in a rhyming scheme.
Keep up the good work!
