I fell in love with this quote of Dr Mary Angelou, as soon as I read it –
“I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life’s a bitch. You’ve got to go out and kick ass.”
And that’s what inspired me to write this poem π
Watching through murky shadows, praising esteemed stereotype,
casting frowns at your dreams, crinkled views would slowly wipe,
Does hope ride on a sunrise, soon at dusk you might wonder?
Can it power your resolve, to catch those dreams, now yonder!
Let them never tie you down, for your heart is born to fly,
stack up smiles, spread wings and soar across vanilla sky,
your voice can empower, sing sweet lullabies too,
march through snowstorm, sail over oceans blue,
this world would often attempt, to pass on an old Taboo,
flash the brightest smile and say, “No, Thank you”
