I see a young girl;
With a smile on her face;
A smile which reflects what's in her heart.
Her eyes filled with hope, wanting to achieve something great...
I see a bright future waiting for her...
But her smile starts fading away,
And her hope seems to be stolen;
When she realizes what her gender is...
A gender of a woman...
She is seen as weak, sensitive, fragile...
She sees young boys who's wings spread as they are taught how to fly,
But the wings of this young girl are cut off...
I see a girl who is learning at a tender age that she cannot have priorities...
I see a girl who is learning that this is a man's world,
Where she will have to fight to survive.
This world is starting to become a battle field for her,
Where she can't cave in to expectations.
She is standing strong and fierce,
Ready for anything...
This girl is going to survive;
Not only for herself,
But for all the girls who are just like her!
