I Will Rise Poem by Malabika Ray Choudhury

I will rise!
The dark clouds cover the entire sky,
But I see illuminating sun-rays in the horizon,
It's calm, it's peaceful, it's reassuring,
I will rise!
I will rise above the scorched grasses,
I will rise above the bare branches,
I will rise above the brown barks,
I will rise!

I led a perfect woman's life,
A woman's life with no blemishes,
sheltered, protected, and behind the curtains,
making all the sacrifices so others can thrive.

It's my chance to rise,
And I will not let it go,
I will not give up.
I will follow the sun, I will follow the moon,
Every leaf, every blade around me,
will inspire me
to rise above the trivialities,
I will come back renewed every time I am crushed,
to prove my life is precious,
I was born with a purpose.
