She

By Deepika Tandon

She was tossed-n-turned in an Avalanche,

She dared to sleep in the Wolf’s arms.

She crossed the river Full of Flames of Fear,

And used them to Fuel her Passion.

Yes, she dared to climb the huge mountains

Of Self-doubt and used Lava of her Soul

To melt them into Self-Love and Compassion.

She may or may not be the Goddess she believes She is,

But she certainly isn’t the fragile Caged Bird she was once

Made to believe She is.
