She is She – Delhi Poetry Slam

She is She

By Medha Bisht

She is she,
she fears the night,
she chases her dreams with all her might.

As the day darkens,
Her hands shiver as she walks, 
Her eyes filled with fear as she talks,
She maps the safest route to her house, because,
She is she, 
And as time passes, she loses all her might

Thanks to the society,
Now there is a barrier set in her mind, 
She prays to the almighty,
For a solution she could find.

She is she,
She fears the night,
And as time passes, she loses all her light.

The world would be a better place,
If she did not have to map the safest route to her home, 
if she did not carry blame that was never her own,
because, she is she,
And she deserves to chase her dreams,
with all her might.
