Untamed

In the land of vibrant sun and sea

Where the grass is lush, with the breeze run the trees

There lived a girl with a fiery spirit and a heart of gold

She had a love for the outdoors, bold and untold.

In her town, where boys ruled the game

She stepped forward, unafraid of the fame

With the ball at her feet, she'd gracefully sway

Her dreams shining bright come what may.

But the boys scoffed, they frowned upon her grace

Their thoughts- of course, this is not her rightful place

Yet undeterred, she played with fervent might

With every kick, she embraced her own light.

She graced through defenders, swift as the breeze

Her great footwork their minds it did not ease

With every goal, she proved her worth

An embodiment of strength since her birth.

They tried to sideline her, hoping for her doubt and despair

But she did not yield or speak, enough was her glare

She stood tall amidst the whispers and jeers

Her spirit is unbroken, transcending fears.

And slowly, the boys began to see

Her talent and determination are so free

Their hearts opened to her infectious smile

As her passion ignited, mile after mile.

Now, on the fields, she stands

A symbol of empowerment, across the lands

For every girl who dreams of breaking free

This queen, an inspiration she'll be.

So let her story be told far and wide

A testament to resilience with love as her guide

For with her spirit untamed

She showed us that dreams, no obstacle can claim.
