Gliding In Endless Blue

"My life is a story, yours is" By Poet Every life is an inimitable story ... My life is a story, yours is. Being a girl restricted my movement, Being a girl restricted my feelings, Being a girl restricted my freedom of speech, And pursuit of knowledge. I was born in a country which regained their freedom from a hundred years of foreign rule.. People were excited, ecstatic, full of enthusiasm… A new day was in view, But for women, society was still closed, Women did not have the power to decide their own path, Express their opinions, aspirations, or feelings! Creativity is the open sky which let me free. A little girl unlocked her boundless imagination When life was a prison for her. There was no barrier when passions took flight, Like an open-winged bird gliding in the endless blue, In the infinity she soared high. Became a new Me! No more identify myself with the pictures from the past! From a demure, soft-spoken, bashful girl, Progressively transforming Into a strong, resolute, determined, soul. created myself ~ with bits and pieces ~ multi-hued fragments of my life. My story is a story of finding freedom, ~ finding my distinctive voice! Reference: The Indian Independence Act was passed in 1947. The act created two new independent dominions; India and Pakistan. Pakistan was split into Pakistan and East Pakistan which is now Bangladesh. The Bengal and Punjab provinces were partitioned between the two new countries.
