Every occasion when the world pushed her
to follow the societal norms,
she contravened such thought

And doesn’t matter
how rough the gale was,
she remained floated
gracing an inspiring smile
like a bobbing buoy

The universe disowned her,
the world outcasted her being,
but no matter how tough
the circumstances were,
she didn’t deviate from her stanch

Slowly, with few steps at a time,
She surged ahead,
and she formed her own clan
defined by her terms
