Born Free, Not Bound

Patriarchy built its walls with rules and fear,
Telling women to whisper, to shrink, to disappear.
It drew small circles and called them fate,
Locked bright minds behind a fragile gate.
But a woman is not a shadow, not a silent name,
She is fire, she is ocean, she is more than shame.
She deserves open skies and fearless choice,
To walk freely, to speak in her own voice.
Freedom is not a gift to be given by men
It is her birthright, again and again.
