In shadows cast by silent norms,
Where dreams are clipped and hearts conform,
The weight of gender’s heavy hand,
Leaves trails unseen across the land.
Voices stifled, potential caged,
In a world where roles are prearranged,
The cries for justice softly fade,
Beneath the surface, pain cascades.
Yet in the quiet, strength does grow,
Like seeds beneath the winter’s snow,
For change is birthed in silent screams,
And courage fuels the boldest dreams.
So rise we must, with hearts aligned,
To break the chains that gender binds,
For in equality’s embrace,
We’ll find a world of endless grace.
