Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
On the path of self reliance, she found a taste of freedom and a dream realised.
Fate did brandish its sword,
for a long time, to intimidate me.
Sabotaging my numerous noble efforts,
to realize my unfulfilled dream,
to break free.
I was pushed, I was shoved,
and countless catastrophes,
attempted to crush,
my rebellious being.
But then fate gave in,
when it tasted my resilience.
And even showered me,
with a thoughtful parting gift.
And that was,
to have the strength and spirit,
to break free,
thus fulfilling,
my long unfulfilled dream.
This poem was one of the winning poems in Asian Literary Society’s weekly poetry contest on the topic ‘Unfulfilled Dream’ and was published in ALS blog spot.
