A Girl

Allow me to bloom,

For I have a lot,

To discover and share.

Do not curb my freedom,

For I wish to run,

Exploring the wide world.

I did not choose,

To be born.

Yet when I arrive,

Everyone mourns.

Just open your heart,

Allow your minds to reason.

Without me,

Who would exist?

As a Woman I give birth,

Yet when I am born,

Death is what I earn!

I should not ask,

For permission.

Yet, here I am,

A girl, asking the world, 

Let me live this life with the dignity I deserve!
