Prison of Illusion...!!!
Yin and yang with all the ifs,
Her heart was still soft inside, yet so stiff.
In the system she is happy to be,
Or just seems to be?
Restrictions by the society,
Suppressed her skills of great variety.
Forced to be covered in many veils,
It looked like she was in a life-long trial.
All her youth, they trained her to work like slave,
All her life serving others and making them happy she goes to grave.
Thanks to this, society was dying,
But this couldn't make her stop from her will of flying.
No-one was helpful, when she tried to step out,
Instead, they tried holding her in their clouts.
Resistance couldn't hold her, success came to her,
As with every action of hers the world got stirred.
She proved that she was gallant,
Proved she is superior to man, she was a soldier so valiant.
The same who used to presume she was designed only to be a housekeeper,
Nothing worked for them as she acheived success proving others' thoughts just creepier.
Coming out of prison of illusion,
She proved that what stops us is nothing but a prison of delusion.
For those assuming it's a man's world,
Remember it would be nothing without a woman or a girl.
