I fought
to affirm my worth to the world
only to be defeated each time
I struggled
to keep pace with the world
only to be wounded each time
I voiced
against prejudice by the world
only to be ridiculed each time
Yet
I rose
to proclaim my existence each time
I challenged
the provocateurs of inequity each time
I refused
to be captivated by the tenets of the world
I dissented
to concede to the atrocities of time
I denied
to step back to give way to the crime
so, I rise again
I fight again
I struggle again
I voice again
to spread my wings
to perceive liberty
to reach the stars
once in a lifetime!
Thanks ! I am glad you liked it.
The ever enduring struggles one faces………………….you have penned it so rightly and nicely, it shakes up the inner emotions.
I am glad you felt it that way. I appreciate your kind words.
