I want to be Free Never-Ending Tunnel

I am a girl, Throats parched,
I have aspirations like my brother, Stomachs grumbling,
But that does not suit with my mother, Blank eyes staring up at the sky,
She thinks I should stay home and clean, Waiting for that one drop of water.
I think that is very unfair, Tears filled with pain trickle down,
I also want to pursue my passion, We are prisoners,
I want to get into fast fashion. wanting to break free,
I don’t want to get married, Our lives filled with empty happiness.
I want to be a beautiful bird,
I want to spread my wings and fly away from this society, Anger wells up inside of us
I want to make my family proud, every day, we didn’t ask for this,
But that is only if I am allowed… What did we do?
Why do we deserve it?
Shaurya Jain We envy those who live in joy,
MYP-3 Those who don’t notice us,
Those who are oblivious to the hell
that lies alongside their heaven.

They say don’t give up,
Have faith in god,
That everything happens for a reason,
But in truth, these are all hoaxes.
You. Me. We’re all the same,
All of us are human,
But some of us are trapped,
Torn away from feeling euphoria.
Every day we lose an ounce of hope,
WORDS 2020 -21 That there is a light at the end, WORDS 2020 -21
They say this never-ending tunnel ends,
But for now, the darkness is the only light.
