Obstacles can't stop me
In a world where bias clouds the sky, A girl with dreams soars high, She toils, she strives, with purpose in her eye, While the boy sits back, letting fate pass by. She dreams of success, of reaching the stars, Fueled by ambition, breaking through bars, But the boy, oh so carefree, without scars, Leans on luck, guided by the unseen stars. Through struggles and strife, she paves her way, A beacon of hope, a light in the gray, Taking care of the family, night and day, While the boy's earnings in oblivion sway. Yet, despite her strength, her power untold, Society deems her rights to withhold, Her decisions questioned, her voice controlled, While the boy roams free, his worth untold. Why does the patriarch's shadow loom large, Granting respect to the boy in charge, Leaving the girl gasping, trapped in a cage, Her spirit crushed by unjust societal rage. Inside, she harbors a storm of emotions, Silent screams drowned in societal notions, Her thoughts, her views, lost in commotions, Yearning for freedom from biased oceans. But still, she perseveres, her flame burning bright, Defying odds, embracing her fight, For one day, she knows, in the face of the night, Her voice will echo, igniting a new light.
