She

Dedicated to every women who has suffered in this patriarchal world…

When you see in her eyes, you won’t see the stars,
You’ll see remnants of beautiful smiles, lost in the war.
You’ll see speckles of dust and lots of rain,
You cannot count the times she has survived that moment of pain.
You’ll see what it’s like to sail through the storm,
And still be as calm as a river, living a life miserable & forlorn.
You’ll see tarnished moon inside, struggling to keep afloat,
I was able to survive because of the words that she once wrote.


She is the epitome of beauty, strength and courage,
It’s a pity she was chosen to be the victim of this outrage.
She taught me to think, she taught me to try,
She helped me to free the me trapped inside.
Everything I am, everything I have, she is the one I owe it to,
And when the times got hard, she was there to affirm that we would get through.

You don’t understand the love she has for everyone – it is so rare,
If she decide to take a stand, she can be your worst nightmare.
