Flaming Fury

Aria Kumar

Girls like us were born

to slay dragons, 

to value our ability,

to advocate fairness. 

Girls like us were created

to change the world, 

to possess strength and courage, 

to cope with adversity.

Girls like us were given life

to shine bright and bold,

to trail blaze ingeniously with passion.

Girls like us were set a purpose 

to explore space, 

to invent robots, 

to be themselves.

We won’t let a king 

or a prince

or a fairy tale 

tell us we are not worthy, 

because we can achieve anything.
