UNWRITTEN SKIES

A dream I held in silence,
Cradled in the corners of my mind,
Mocked by the voices dressed in tradition,
Bound in the chains of "You'll never find....."

But I built it brick by whispering brick ,
Feeding it courage in the dark,,
Where society said "Not for you",
I said , "Watch me leave a mark".

They called it rebellion, I called it truth ,
They said "fit in" , I said I'd rather "bloom".
And when the walls tried to hold me in,
I turned my breath into a monsoon .

Now here I stand -- dream in hand --
No permission slip signed, no rules obeyed
Just grift, faith, and the fire within
That broke the mold the world had made.
