Two Sets of Shoulders

The nights belonged to me alone,
the lullabies, the worries, the dreams.
I learned to hold the weight of two,
a love fierce enough to carry us.

Woman Unchained

I was not made to be quieted,
nor to shrink into the spaces they expect.
I am the storm,
the fire within,
learning to rise with each breath.

In the quiet, I find my power—
it is mine, not given,
crafted through pain, through growth,
and the wisdom that comes from standing tall alone.
I don’t need their validation—
I am whole,
I am enough.

This poem is a deep exploration of a woman's journey toward self-empowerment and resilience. With introspection and unwavering strength, it reflects the quiet power that comes from embracing one's own worth and overcoming societal expectations. It speaks to the process of discovering that true strength lies within, needing no validation or approval from anyone, especially not from men.

She Is

She is not the reflection they painted,
nor the role they assigned.
She is the breath of the earth,
the roots and the bloom,
both soft and unyielding.
She carries worlds within her—
and owes nothing to anyone.
