And the other place, which you have embraced, and been embraced, and from which you have learned many things. Here some of the parts of you can emerge, but now you hunger for your source, your roots, your people, You feel torn in two. But your confidence grows. You are encouraged and supported by your friends, and by your courageous family. You are a pioneer. It is often a lonely journey. But you are opening the way for others to join you! Blessings to you on your way!

When I read, "I am from a country that kills girls’ talents," It nearly made me burst into tears. By writing this poem and expressing your thoughts, you have proved this statement false. Your country alone can not kill your talent; your talent is too strong to be fired down. :) I am so inspired by you, because you are fighting violence and repression with words and talent. Poems like this, and people like you make the sun shine. You go girl. Keep writing - this is beautiful. You have clearly presented the raw feelings of being supressed in a ‘same society.’
