They called her
worthless
and
incapable.

But still she
hide under the dark veil
of ignorance.

They words were like
a poisoned, sharpened arrow targeted
at her heart.

But her heart was
surrounded with heavy,
non-perishable metal
ceasing entry at the heart.

She quitened and remained
silent,
sitting on the sidelines
taking in they
stares of judgement.

All it took for them
was one word
for her to prove
the world,
her society
and her family.

The one word that
broke down the walls of
her heart.

That one word showed
the world
Her passion,
Her love
and her potential.

That one word
was
Ungrateful.
