Let Me Live

i want to fly high
i wish i could be a bird
but i cant do so
because god made me a girl
they say i cant smile
because i am not a boy
i want to ask them .. 
why do they treat me like a toy
they say i am a burden 
and i shouldn't have been born
someday i will prove them 
that all they said was wrong
no, i am not a waste
so don't treat me like a flawed
i can be anything
i am the best creation of god
if you cant protect m so 
then you don't have the right to exploit
because you will feel ashamed
when i will raise my voice
you think i am not brave
you think i can be hurled
but i am not afraid of any pain
if i can make a baby enter this world
so.. let me live
the way i deserve
because i am not a curse
i am a girl.. i am a pearl

a poorva,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
