I Am My Own Hero

Spent many hours with young blossoms and weeds, 
I, a new child in a garden of lot.
Yield to the garden and sat down with needs.
Where no one could see, but constantly fought.

Invisible to the world since I was
young by nature's hand, not allowed to voice 
judgments as it did not matter because
a woman had no freedom of her choice.

Uprooted off from Nature's restrictions
rosed and walked freely and followed planned dreams
without no limits or hesitation.
Like cool refreshing unrestricted streams.

I am my own hero obviously
wishes, dreams are taken seriously!
