Diamond In The Sky

 You are not supposed to do that

As women, we often hear

That's because if we can do it

Everything about us they'll fear


They'd rather not give us opportunities

Instead of watching us succeed

Women are meant to stay behind they say

When we know we're born to lead


They don't understand equality

Let alone want us to have it

For them to feel powerful

We're expected to be the ignorant bit


Demand credit for what you do

If they don't hear, scream

Don't stop until you have fulfilled it all

The idea that once was a dream


True strength is what forms your core

Be proud of everything that you are

Ambition is not a bad word

Honor it and you'll go far


Everyone will question your approach

They'll have unsavory things to say

Ignore it and march ahead

From today, everyday is your day


Daughter, sister, wife, mother

You can be all this and more

Write a new chapter of your story

Together, we can challenge the lore


When they say you cannot do it

Do it with your head held high

Wear your crown and continue to shine

Like a diamond in the sky

  4. Powerful words! Love this inspiring poem, Soumya. They say you can't do it only because they fear how fabulously you will do it. It's simply the truth.
