Premiere Contest WinnerA Wish

A wish....
A wish to walk free
Free of the stigma bestowed upon me....
Free of the clutches holding me tight.....
Free of the epitome of a dirt too slight...

A wish....
A wish to unfurl the wings....
The wings of beauty 
The wings of freedom
And up above to the manifesto of stardom!!

But alas!  it's a trait
Too harsh!!
A poison lost amidst my blood....
A poison existing in the hearts of many.....
Many a girl like me....

And alas! The wish remains a wish
The wish to roam around free...
The wish to unfurl our wings....
For many a girl like me!!

Hello Pavithra CP, so nice to meet you. A wish is a wish that in time will come true. If the wish is unspoken i do think it wil come true. Have a nice evening my friend.
