A brave girl

From a small town,

with limited resources,

having dreams in her heart,

and fire in the belly...

A desire to learn things,

advance in knowledge and skills,

travelling cities after cities, 

in her quest of better opportunities. 

A struggle to adjust,

of climates, food and water,

suffering from occasional illness, 

no one to take care in those days.

There were also work pressure,

some disappointments and frustrations, 

missing the comfort of the home,

those bonds of friends and families.

Bigger ambitions demanded sacrifices,

doing overtime or having sleepless nights,

the painful heartbreak and rejections,

no one to rely for emotional support.

But hard work is rewarded,

bigger positions were granted,

moment of rejoice and celebrations, 

joining with excitements and expectations. 

Things went well in early phases,

stepping on the ladder of success 

but there are dangers lurking somewhere, 

many egos affected from her orders.

In a male dominated workplace,

her superiority was being challenged,

some humiliations in comments,

hurting her dignity in symbolic gestures.

But she is epitome of courage,

faced many hurdles with inner strength,

she won the heart of all colleagues, 

through her dedications and work ethic.

Having a vision, a goal to achieve,

with no time to rest or sleep,

she will keep walking regardless of obstacles,

for, she is a brave girl.
