We are all survivors, Of pain, Gifted by others As well as ourselves. Pain that makes us flinch, Pain we remember for years.

Don’t Be Afraid
Hey, you! Yes, you! Don't you be afraid Just because you are a woman. For in more ways than you imagine, You don't just have powers, You have super-powers! Don't let the men tell you What and how to do. Don't let other women demonstrate What and how you should be. For you have the [...]
One More Time
One more time, Let us try. One more time, Let us not see why. One more time, Let us not hold ourselves back. One more time, Let us forget about what we lack. One more time, Let us let ourselves be. One more time, Let us dream what we can’t see. One more time, Let [...]
I Don’t Know You Anymore
I don't know you anymore Like I used to before, Like I thought I always would, Like I wish I could. I don't know you anymore Or the feelings of your inner core, Or the fake laugh you force out, Or the words you shout. I don't know you anymore Inspite of that old dress [...]

Stand Up For Yourself
Your knees may be wobbling, For you may have been beaten down, From fear, disrespect or hate. Still, I say, Stand up for yourself. The walls of your world May have collapsed all around you. The walls you spent your life on. Still, I dare say, Stand up for yourself. You might seem all alone [...]
Why Merida?
Of course, I don’t look like Disney’s Princess Merida from Brave! Then why is she on my profile photo? I don't have blue eyes or red hair or go around with a bow and arrows. Then why her? The first time I saw the movie, it went way over my head. I had kept waiting [...]

Nothing is what I will fall to, If my dreams crash. Still, I hope. Everyone around has something If not seemingly everything, Whereas I have nothing. [...]
