Her Raison d’être

While writing this poem, I imagined an unstoppable girl. For her sky is the only limit, and she wants to do everything to achieve the goal. The sole raison d’être for her is to prove her mettle. Also, this phoney world tries to curb her from achieving her goal. She annihilates all the misogyny related to her and motivates others to achieve their goals. Despite so many impediments due to bigot society, she stands alone and fights for her dream. Her optimistic attitude helps her to cope up with the tough times she faced. Now she has the power to tear the sky to reach heaven. With her almighty power, she is ready to save the world despite the fact that the world denigrates her. She is ready to bear all the pain for humankind and the world.

There lived a certain girl long ago
She was rosy and fierce, in her eyes a flaming glow
She’s gliding high in the sky, on her way to fly
Glitter in the sky, glitter in her eyes
Shining just the way she like ….

She moved her feet to reach that sun in the sky
Where her emotions blur into different shapes and forms
She calls it paradise, so the only place that she needs
When others feel low, she gets them high
So high, so high as Fraser Fir
When darkness comes, she makes it shine
So bright, so bright as the sun in the sky
Glitter in the sky, glitter in her eyes
Shining just the way she like ….

Look what she becomes, look what she has been through
Look what the world has done with her
She went face to face with all her fears
Learned lessons through tears
So, she isn’t crying anymore
Mightier than she was before
Glitter in the sky, glitter in her eyes
Shining just the way she like ….

As she looks up, the sky erupts
flames alight trees spread to falling leaves
she's on fire, splashing the summer stream high
Birds fly in a different direction, but she flies till the moon
seasons will change, everything will change
but she remains the same, walking through sweltering fire
Glitter in the sky, glitter in her eyes
Shining just the way she like ….

She had a premonition that she fell into a rhythm
Where the zeal doesn't stop for life
the blood moon on the rise, the fire burning in her eyes
The chaos that controlled her mind vanishes away
ready to save the world, taking her misery
aiming and fire away, on her way to the sky
Glitter in the sky, glitter in her eyes
Shining just the way she like ….
