The Girl in a Million

There, she walked with pride,
Dressed in red and in stride.
Her high heels spoke in depth,
Of her confidence in every step.

.

Her past is still a mystery,
For the followers in spree.
She did not shy away,
But no one wanted her to say.

.

She climbed the stairs of success,
As though, she never took a recess.
Now, it was time for her,
To reveal the stories behind her.

.

Her past was filled
With struggles and wishes unfulfilled,
All throughout her childhood,
Teenage and adulthood.

.

She was almost killed at birth,
As she was a girl on Earth.
She was mocked upon,
As she had scars on.

.

Her height, her colour and weight,
All were the problems in light.
Her better half used her for ecstasy,
And dumped her, as she couldn’t bore his legacy. 

.

She was left all forlorn,
With no one to lean on.
She didn’t let herself down,
Instead gathered courage and moved on.

.

Her victory over miseries were learnings,
When happiness was just a yearning.
She is a real warrior,
Who emerged, breaking barriers.

.

She literally rose from ashes,
Like the bird of Phoenix.
An inspiration to all women,
She is indeed, “The Girl In A Million. “
