Since her childhood, she dreamed,
That her life would be more that it seemed;
That she wouldn’t just be another somebody,
Was something she would show to everybody;
Silently, she worked, not caring for recognition,
Past the occasional breakdown, she continued on her mission;
She wanted to be different,
To leave in this world her dent;
She was determined to rise,
Who could hold her down?
Some told her she couldn’t do it,
She told herself, especially to them, I’ll prove it;
Momentary lapses that lasted for days,
And loss of heart, she did face;
But she was determined to rise,
Who can hold her down?
Days turned into months, which turned into years,
Now, words of encouragement are what she hears;
She held on to her dream like it was her life,
But truth be told, it was no comparison;
Then one day, a stranger recognised her face,
In the tower she was building for herself, she was now far from the base;
Another day came where a stranger called her name loudly,
A name that had come to be associated with what she had worked on so proudly;
She was determined to rise,
And that dream, she made her life;
She was determined to rise,
Who could have held her down?
