‎"Let me mourn that I am woman.

Then let me bury my femaleness into the ocean.

Let me crash down and catch fire like a phoenix.

And just like it rise out of the ashes.

Let me soar in the winds with my new set of wings.

Let me loose myself in the freedom.

Let me not once recall my damned birthright

Incrusted into my chest by a man.

Let me climb all the heights I have the courage to climb

And not once forget the price I paid to arrive. "
