The brown little spotted deer tried,
To break the chains with which she was tied;
The curious eyes peeped in and out,
Making no noise so no one would doubt;
Now free was she, she gracefully wandered;
It revealed her beauty, but why she wondered;
She loved the new world it bought her peace,
She got the content that no one could cease;
She ran with the wind’s pace and power;
And then confident she was and stronger;
In her rhythm she walked with her enchanting eyes;
She tricked the enemies and hypnotized the spies;
it was just not the happiness that she got;
She got new wings and freedom she sought;
She spread them and turned into a bird;
High she flew and disappeared ..where? Everyone wondered!!

Nicely written !! It kind of acts as a metaphor for women empowerment no?It indicates what many young girls go through in our society before they finally achieve success.

Its not about living creatures.. The deer symbolises a person or a woman who is trapped in her own restrictions thoughts and taboos..and it is about the mental rebel…

Liked the last part about becoming a bird….it kind of shows that when you are free your capabilities have no limits and you can go beyond what you or everyone else thought.
