Unbreakable Spirit: Defying Limitations and Embracing Freedom
by Riaz Laghari
Your will to restrain me
Your motives to have me shackled.
Your admonition to keep my mouth shut
Your suspicion that I become insolent
My highness, master, and ruler!
I am aware that my brazenness will shatter your delicate nature.
What can I do but not relent?
For a very long time, I have lived in the shadow of your fear.
With a smile on my face, I endured oppression.
Generation after generation sings your praises.
Have no more energy to bear your weight at this time.
Your restriction, your directive, and this royal decree
My body no longer trembles!
Please free me from this prison of your hubris.
Proclaim equality right now to usher in a new era.
