Malabika Ray Choudhury Poet Lyric

I Will Rise

I will rise! 
Dark clouds cover the sky, 
I see illuminating sun-rays in the vermillion horizon, 
It's calm, it's peaceful, it's reassuring, 
I will rise! 
I will rise above the scorched grasses, 
I will rise above the bare branches, 
I will rise above the brown barks, 
I will rise! 

I led a perfect woman's life, 
A woman's life with no blemishes, 
sheltered, protected, and behind the curtains, 
making all the sacrifices so others can thrive.

It's my moment to rise, 
And I will not let it go, 
I will not give up.
I will follow the sun, I will follow the moon, 
Every leaf, every blade around me, 
will inspire me
to rise above the trivialities, 
I will come back renewed every time I am crushed, 
to prove my life is precious, 
I was born with a purpose!
