Woman - two sides of a coin

A woman, two different sides of a coin

One silent never daring to dream

The other scaling heights, forging the stream

When a woman is silent not daring to dream

Things are not as simple as they seem

As if a bearer of doom, when a girl is born,

She cowers in fear of that undeserving scorn

Every time she faces her husband's wrath,

She forgives, that is what she's been taught!

Oh woman, in silence there is a lot to loose

Your daughters too, will never dare to choose

You know it well, but you're not even trying

Life is passing by...your spirit is dying

You let it go, never raising a voice

Even though you know, there is always a choice

In times of violence, rape, abuse....

Suppressing the power within you to use

Oh woman, in silence there is a lot to loose

Denial, fear, traditions, society are no excuse

Oh woman on the other side of the coin

You've shattered myths, scaled new heights

Fulfilled dreams, fought for what's right

Letting go of guilt to reach your goal

You and only you, the master of your soul 

Broken shackles of tradition and society 

You are today your own first priority

Breaking free to follow that voice

That's calling you to make your choice

Now that your choice is made

Reach out to those, standing in the shade

Scared, silent, still cowering in fright

Lend a hand, show them the light

For....

No woman should suffer trauma and violence

Get crushed or learn to suffer in silence

A Woman, two different sides of a coin

One is frightened and silent

The other vibrant and defiant

A Woman, even today, two different sides of a coin
