A girl was told, 

“Reach for the stars.”

So she did

But she came up just short,

Yes she was out bid.

And as for her parade?

It hailed,

Her mission?

Had failed,

Under one condition

Her family believed 

And she had achieved!?

But it was never enough 

You aren't strong!

You aren't tough!

She told herself

But when she looked in a mirror 

She realized she was enough

So she rose from the rubble 

No she wasn't going down without a fight 

Yet try as she might,

She could never take flight.

“Go home”

She was told

“Don't be so bold”

But still she rose!

No one was there to apose

Suddenly there was something stopping her

She couldn’t move on 

Slowly the truth began to dawn

Never would she,

Beat him,his,or he,

in the eyes of society

And this because,

As bold as she was,

She had dared to dream
