Reflect, Realise, Reinstate

In a world full of prejudice

Judgemental attitudes governed by people's vices

I feel stifled 

Gasping for air, I yearn to come ashore

To breathe

To breathe the air of freedom

To remind myself that,

"Girl! What you are shouldn't depend on what people think of you.

You are a fighter.

You have to go against the current to win this. "

To jolt myself out of the grasp 

Of the negativity enveloping me

I revive

I restore

I come back with a bang 

Taking big strides

Overlooking vices embracing virtues

After all we are all imperfect 

But I don't do this alone

I have a few silent heroes

Watching my back 

Telling me we all roll down the hill

And I must learn to trek my way up

Up to the point

Where I open my arms and meet myself once again

Carefree, sensitive yet strong.
