#strongwomen
They said the halls were not for her, Too loud, too young, too proud, too sure. But still she stood; unflinching, clear, The storm they feared had found its year. She fights for those the world forgets, Where justice shrinks and power bets. Her words cut through the marble lies, A torch reflected in brown eyes. For women told to sit and fade, She built her truth and disobeyed. Each bill, each stand, each righteous flame, She signs in hope and carves her name. For workers robbed, for mothers worn, For every voice that feels forlorn, She turns the tables, practised ease, And dares the mighty to their knees. So when they mock, when cowards sneer, She answers fear with something sheer: A faith in us, in what could be, In love, in change, in dignity. May 2028 come fast, May democracy then last. For if she runs, the world will see, What justice looks like, finally.

After You
Maybe, you are right. Maybe, I am why you cannot love yourself. Maybe, I am the problem.

Does Our Past Define Us?
What you tolerate for pain and mistreatment today, will imprison you tomorrow.

You Deserve More, I Deserve More
I do not need you to save me, But I do need you to hold me while I rest.

In Between The Battles
It's okay to mourn the things you never had, As long as you don't let the grief consume you.

Shame on me Shame on me for not pushing the label further. Shame on me for not recognizing your true colors. Shame on me for being deceived by your continuous empty promises. Shame on me for ignoring the endless trail of red flags. Shame on me for embracing your abuse with open arms. Shame on me for accepting your disrespect. Shame on me for allowing you to destroy the tenacious woman I am. Shame on me

Shame On Me
I am with bone and skin, but I am woman. I am vulnerable to the other gender, they don’t seem to notice that I am indeed human to. Being born a woman is both a curse and a blessing. we embrace it all, we are both the sun and the moon, we are women. I am a woman, yes but I am so much more than that

I don’t know What ails the angels Maybe they are tired Of trying to guard me And save me From my demons I picture them exhausted, On a street curb Smoking a Marlboro Menthol Begging for rest. Maybe that’s what ails The angels. -L. Frost

She will Rise
Minimum wage at a sewing factory the air thick with the smell of cheap dye and the determination of making ends meet raising three kids alone in a foreign country where no one speaks your mother tongue breaking down the wall of cultural restraints so your daughter could pursue her dreams giving her the freedom to soar even if it meant caging yours our favourite meals even after a long, hard day the embracing aroma of spices as we enter the house insisting you are not hungry so we could have the last bite falling asleep to the lullaby of your voice reading through the crinkled pages of Urdu stories your endless, fearless support as we grew up if only we could see ourselves through your eyes for what you have endured, words can’t express your resilience, your courage, your love -to the strongest woman I know

Strongest woman
As you may admire her from the peak of a mountain Know that she commends the gardens she made below For His will in every season She will make beauty out of the weeds-of-wrath As will in the likeness of clouds A strong woman is prized in both seasons Don’t fall for folly when you only catch her touching the stars
