Her face was as calm as the sea
Her smile as sweet as honey
Everyone she met, Everywhere she went
No one suspected a thing
Little did people know
That just like the currents found deep within the sea
Her mind was just as restless, everyone saw the surface
Not what was beneath
The smile beautifully masked her emotion
She was an open book to the world
Only a few knew
Her secrets were written in invisible ink,
Decipherable only to those she chose to reveal
What troubles could that pretty little head have , they said
You’re life must be as good as it gets
A pretty face, a loving house, a future husband who will take care of you
What else would you need
But who were they to judge, who gave them the right
Who made them so powerful
To make decisions for her
What did they know about her hopes and dreams
The thirst to prove to the world
That She was much more than a pretty face,
A person to be taken seriously
She wanted to climb the ladder, reach the top and see
The view of All the people who told her, she couldn’t reach the peak
She wanted to make her parents proud
She knew she couldn’t rest ,inching towards her goal
Seeming so near,yet so beyond her reach
She worried constantly , was she falling behind
She dint want to be part of this rat race
Yet she wanted to win so desperately
She took a second and thought
Whom was she trying to prove
No one but herself
The reason being a mystery
Is it because of everyone who said ,
That no one expects much of you
Take care of your husband, your kids, your house
That’s the best you can ever be
She dint care anymore, she would show the world
More importantly she would show herself
That she matters, she made a difference
She’d be the best she could be
She would follow her passion
Supergirl not matching her speed
She wanted to let loose and scream
Do all the things that she didn’t
Due to the constant fear cause of society
One day she hoped she’d be free
From all the prejudice
From all the expectations
One day she hopes she will stand on top of the world
And say Im happy FOR being just ME
