Kanya - A play through the Ages

She was right there, But they never saw her. She was breathing, heart beating, Thoughts running, dreams flying, But no one cared. No one heard. And the rain kept falling. There was never a beginning. From the dawn of time, She was pushed when she stood, Silenced when she spoke. Someone, always a little bit more. She, always a little bit less. And the rain kept falling. But what they don’t see, Is that she is running, A little bit faster, And she is fighting, A little bit harder, And she will not break, And she will not stop. And then, one day, The phoenix will rise. And she will stand In the New World, Right next to everyone else, And then, that day, The rain stops falling, And the light breaks free, Because, that day... The dawn has come.
