I Had To Fight When
I Had To Fight When


I had to fight when
I was born, to live in this world.
I was three, to go to school.
I was five, to play with others.
I was fifteen, to talk freely.
I was twenty, to pursue my dreams.
I was twenty three, to go for a job.
I was twenty five, to get married later.
I was thirty, to continue my job.
I was thirty five, to manage both sides.
I was fifty five, to get my kids settled.
I was seventy, to be looked after.
Yes, I was born a girl,
No one saw me as a pearl,
I just had to live through a fight,
So that I could live with might.
