Where the sun rises first	A
A girl The Battle Within A Tale of an Ordinary Woman was born	B
In jasmine fields	C
She danced like a monsoon peacock	D
	-
A little princess	E
In her adobe home	F
A free bird	G
In endless skies	H

Youth bloomed	I
Like a lotus pure	J
Her heart secure	J
Her dreams reborn	B

She dreamed of love	K
A ring a promise	L
A Prince Charming	M
On a white horse	N
A future with wings	O
She had yet to wear	P
	-
She felt herself	Q
An untouched princess	E
Yet did not know	R
She was raised	S
As a paraya dhan	R
	-
Still she soared	T
Still she dreamed	U
With open heart	V
And eyes wide to the sky	W
	-
The little bird thought	X
She d finally slipped free	Y
From the cage of her childhood	Z
Released too early	Y
Too fragile	A2
But ready to fly	W
	-
She didn t yet know	R
That fate was waiting	M
Quiet and cruel	A2
To lead her from	B2
One cage	C2
Into another	D2
A freedom promised	E2
A freedom never given	R
	-
Yet marriage came	F2
With many quiet clippers	G2
And slowly	Y
One by one	R
Her wings were trimmed away	H2
	-
She fell to the ground	I2
Lost beneath the weight	J2
Of the dreams she once carried	K2
	-
Still she rose each time	L2
Brushing off the dust	E2
Gathering whatever courage	M2
Her heart could find	N2
And trying once more to move	O2
	-
She died a little every day	H2
Yet somehow remained alive	P2
Breathing walking	M
Enduring	M
Even when her spirit	Q2
Was breaking	M
	-
Targeted with arrows	R2
On her tender restless heart	V
Days turned to months	S2
And months to years	T2
Each one cutting a little deeper	D2
	-
Her soft young heart	V
Wept and wept	U2
Until the memory of smiling	M
Slipped away from her face	V2
	-
Then two little beautiful birdies	W2
Flew into her world	X2
And she dreamed of shielding them	Y2
From every clip	Z2
Every cage	C2
Every wound she had known	R
	-
But still	A3
She died a little each day	H2
Yet somehow remained alive	P2
Holding on for them	Y2
Even when her own wings	O
Had forgotten how to rise	H
	-
While growing up	B3
There was only one lesson	R
Carved into her days	C3
	-
You are a girl	D3
So learn to tolerate	J2
No matter what happens	E3
Stay calm stay quiet	Q2
And keep the new family happy	Y
	-
A childhood taught in whispers	G2
Of endurance over truth	F3
Silence over self	Q
And peace bought	G3
At the cost of her own heart	V
	-
Years went by	W
And the little bird grew	H3
Busy fighting monsters	G2
No one else could see	Y
Busy raising her own	R
Tiny birdies with trembling wings	O
	-
But the battles were many	Y
And the anger kept piling up	B3
Stone after stone	R
On a heart already tired	G
	-
And on the hardest days	C3
The poor little birdies	W2
Felt the heat of storms	I3
That were never meant for them	Y2
Only the echoes	R2
Of wounds she never asked for	J3
	-
At night	K3
When her hidden monster slept	U2
The little bird finally wept	U2
Repenting	M
Loathing herself	Q
Again and again	R
In the darkness she knew too well	L3
	-
But with the morning	M
The monster returned	M3
Shoving the little bird aside	N3
Claiming her breath	O3
Her voice	P3
Her sky	W
	-
And so each day	H2
She died a little more	J3
Yet somehow	Q3
Remained alive	P2
Fluttering on	R
With a strength	R3
She never knew she had	S3
	-
The two little birdies grew	H3
Strong and brave	T3
Seeing the truth	F3
Standing by her side	N3
	-
The little bird	G
Received the gift	U3
Of a lifetime	L2
Two angels	V3
Sent by the skies	H
	-
The little bird	G
Tried her best	W3
To heal the wounds	X3
To start again	R
To let her heart	V
Float on joy	Y3
	-
The two little mighty birdies	W2
Tried to pull her close	Z3
To fight the monster back	A4
To remind her of the sky	W
She once dreamed of	K
	-
And with their gentle wings beside hers	G2
She grew stronger	D2
Day by day	H2
	-
Even though each day	H2
She died a little	A2
She was still alive	P2
Still rising	M
Because they believed she could	Z
	-
Yet she cannot free herself	Q
From the monster	D2
That lives in the scars of her mind	N2
To the world she seems bold and shining	M
But inside her heart trembles	G2
Weeping aching	M
Ready to break open	R
	-
Her wings clipped again and again	R
Never learned to grow back	A4
And every day she died	N3
Yet somehow remained alive	P2
	-
She lacks the strength to soar	J3
Each time she tries	G2
Fear of the unknown	R
Pulls her back into the shadows	G2
	-
She does not know	R
What keeps her caged	B4
Only that the little bird within	R
Still flutters cries and moans	G2
Too frail to fly	W
And every day she died	N3
Yet still alive	P2
	-
The two little birdies	G2
Offer her all their courage	M2
But her paralyzed heart	V
Refuses to move	O2
	-
She debates what is right	K3
What is wrong	C4
Begging for a guiding light	K3
As days months and years drift by	W
And every day she died	N3
Yet still alive	P2
	-
She s tired of blaming herself	Q
Tired of being buried	K2
Under the weight of confusion	R
	-
No hope no joy	Y3
No feeling left inside	N3
She wonders why she still breathes	G2
	-
Dead in spirit	Q2
Yet moving	M
Just moving	M
In a body that lives	G2
Fully dead	D4
But still alive	P2
	-
She made peace	G2
With the monster	D2
Hiding deep within	R
	-
But each day it strikes	G2
A shadow across her chest	W3
Punishing	M
Every thought	X
Of being too harsh	E4
On her two little birdies	G2
	-
Her heart dies a little	A2
With every remembered beat	F4
Yet the monster waits	G2
Whispering	M
Always waiting	M
	-
Alive she walked	G4
But hollowed out	H4
More ghost than breath	O3
More silence than song	C4
	-
She carried the weight	J2
Of being	M
A mother who faltered	G
A sentence etched	I4
By her own trembling hands	G2
	-
Knowing she could never rewind	N2
Her little birdies childhood	Z
Never return	R
The moments stolen	R
By fear	J4
By pain	R
By the monster she could not tame	F2
	-
And so she lived	K4
Dying a little each day	H2
Haunted not by the dark outside	N3
But by the shadows	G2
She thought she cast	L4
Upon those she loved most	M4
	-
While raising her two little birdies	G2
With a monster inside	N3
She cared for her aging parents	G2
Day and night	K3
	-
Then came the choice	G2
Her life or theirs	G2
She did not hesitate	J2
She flipped her world	X2
Gave herself days	G2
Only to hear	N4
You are a girl	D3
You don t belong to us	G2
	-
The little bird broke the most	M4
In her life	O4
She cared for them	Y2
Day and night	K3
With all her money	Y
And all her might	K3
	-
She begged for love	K
For her two little birdies	G2
Only to meet	F4
A wall of rejection	R
Cold and absolute	P4
Echoing in the silence of her heart	V
	-
She saw herself	Q
In the mirror	D2
And for the first time	L2
Spotted another monster within	R
A monster growing old with age	C2
Laughing at her	D2
For not seeing it before	J3
	-
This day she decided	Q4
To break all chains	G2
To undo all locks	G2
And live for herself	Q
For those who love her	D2
	-
Guilt weighed heavy	Y
To leave the old ones behind	N2
Yet she whispered to herself	Q
No one who hates	G2
The pieces of her heart	V
Deserves her worry	Y
Or her sweat	R4
	-
A great battle rose	G2
Within her heart	V
Duty on one side	N3
Her own life on the other	D2
	-
Which to choose	G2
Which to let go	R
The question burned through her	D2
Like a quiet endless storm	S4
A weight no soul	T4
Should ever have to bear	P
	-
The little bird	G
Began dying again	R
Piece by fragile piece	G2
Whispering to the Almighty	Y
For help	U4
	-
For strength	R3
To breathe	V4
For light	K3
To return	R
For wings	G2
To lift her	D2
One more time	L2
	-
A single drop of hope	W4
Beats faintly	Y
In her wounded heart	V
But confusion rules her days	G2
Tugging her	D2
In every direction	R
	-
She prays for the world	X2
Yet fears to pray for herself	Q
Waiting for the Almighty	Y
To secure her soul	T4
For a lifetime	L2
	-
Decades passed	L4
Yet she still calls herself	Q
The little bird	G
For her heart never aged	B4
Only bled	D4
	-
Clinging to youthful dreams	G2
Grieving years she never lived	K4
Wondering always	G2
If miracles choose certain souls	G2
	-
Though she breathes	G2
She longs to live	P2
To feel her spirit dance	G2
Like light on an open sky	W
	-
And she asks	G2
Through tears that fall unseen	R
Is there a God	X4
Who saves little girls like me	Y
	-
No expectations remain	R
No dreams survive	P2
Only one wish	Y4
To mend the fractures	G2
In her broken heart	V
To breathe without fear	J4
To taste freedom	B2
Just once	G2
	-
And in her next life	O4
She hopes to live fully	Y
So she will not be dead	D4
While she is alive	P2
	-
For now	Q3
She wanders like a ghost	M4
A hollow shell	L3
With a quiet pulse	G2
No ripples stir her heart	V
No spark rises to the surface	G2
	-
She asks the sky	W
Why must I endure	J
This cruel fa ade	Z4
Alive in name	F2
Yet hollow within	R
	-
But in the very next breath	O3
She reminds herself	Q
Under this vast sky	W
She is still far more blessed	W3
Than the sorrow	R
Trying to claim her soul	T4
	-
To walk the earth
While feeling nothing	M
To scream silently	Y
Beneath the sun	R
This is the life	O4
Of the little bird	G
Who died each day	H2
Yet somehow	Q3
Remained alive	P2
	-
She chose at last	L4
To live for herself	Q
Not for those	G2
Who treated her	D2
Like she was nothing	M
	-
Her heart is scarred
For even the ones	G2
Who brought her into this world	X2
Had used her for years	G2
	-
Yet she is grateful	A2
To finally see the truth	F3
Even halfway through life	O4
	-
Now she knows	G2
Deep and clear	J4
She belongs to herself	Q
And only herself	Q
	-
At this bend in her life	O4
She pauses and wonders	G2
Where to begin again	R
	-
Her hands are tired	G
Her spirit worn	R
No spark left
To guide the way	H2
	-
Yet in the quiet	Q2
A small truth lingers	G2
Even without strength	R3
A new beginning	M
Still waits for her	D2
	-
She carries so many	Y
Buried dreams	G2
Now she wonders	G2
Should she dig them up	B3
Hold each one in her hands	G2
See which still breathes	G2
And which must return	R
To the quiet earth
	-
The thought of digging	M
Makes her feel faint
She has shut the windows	G2
Of her dreamland
Again and again	R
Letting fate decide her path
Now she stands still	A3
Waiting to see	Y
What unfolds	G2
