#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.

Why do I find every reason to stay
With the man
Who makes me question
My own morals

The floor is littered
With dishes as broken
As your promises

Fate has decided
To make us nothing more than
A distant memory

Loving you broken me
Yet I still find myself
Missing you

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

I pray that you get
Everything you want in life
And heal your toxic traits

My wish for you
May you never have to hide
Your story from others

What you tolerate for pain and mistreatment today, will imprison you tomorrow.

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

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

Why did I ever
Think you would respect my no
When I said it

I have been butchered
By your words your actions and
By your *****

Empty promises
Hang on the line next to
Your ***** laundry

Just because you did
Not notice does not mean
I handled it well

Think that you will be anything
More than doormat

As the walls close in
The demons inside my head
Steal every breath I take

I fault myself
For falling in love with your lies
Instead of the truth

My words weren't abusive
When I said them in that tone

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

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.

Rise,
Rise up my Sister
You are a daughter
Of the Sun!
Rise once more,
Like you did before
A new dawn and day
Has come.

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

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
