Give Me A Chance...

Give me a chance

To lift my burqa

To go out

To be independent

To be strong

Let me

Spread my wings

And soar

High in the SKY

Who are you

To imprison me

In this GOLDEN cage?

Who are you

To say

I'm weak?

WHO ARE YOU

To stop me from getting an education

And make me do household chores instead?

Who are you

To marry me off

And make me spend my life with a stranger?

You are NOTHING

You are NO ONE

To control me

And to bind me with the chains of

RELIGION

Oh, cruel man,

Give me a chance

To lift my burqa

To show the world my beauty

And strength.
