She's Your Daughter... Poem by Raihana Abdul Jabbar

She's your daughter,
You wonder, where is her laughter...

You claim to give her happiness,
By making her life a mess?

She's a kitten in chains,
Listen! Her fluttering heart pains..

She's a bird in glowing rage,
She never craved a golden cage..

Hear her longing cries,
Severe all her ties...

Love is her need,
Won't you pay heed?

She's your daughter...
Leave her...
To fly yonder...
And shine brighter..
