It is a fallacy that women are weak. Women are strong in ways that no one can guess, not until they need to draw on that strength to build their selves.
You could not wait
to grow up and live your
wildest dreams and funny nightmares.
to transform from
an unsure girl to a determined woman.
to read books that weren’t meant for you
and write poems that ruined you.
to understand the difference
between being loved and loving someone.
to get your hands dirty
or fall for the one who left you in the dark.
to get your heart broken or meet failure
at a crossroads, you knew so well.
You could not wait.
You just could not.
But you do not have to be that woman.
You do not have to be the woman
who lets someone write her story,
who gives up on her dreams because of a gory nightmare,
who waits for someone to resurrect her broken tower.
For you were born to build.
Even if you are building alone.

What happens when a woman decides to stand up for herself? Does this world easily accept the decisions of women in this society? What inspires them to be free of the clutches of the oppression that women have faced for ages? Most of the time, women do not get the chance to decide for themselves. Their lives are always at the mercy of someone, which can be their parents, siblings, husband, or children.
In some cases, women do not feel the need to make any decisions. They are taught to obey the patriarchal system, which makes them believe that they are right. In my family, I was never taught to make decisions on my own. It was always my parents who bought dresses and all that I needed.
Love cannot be imposed Stalkers speak of love, which in a few minutes turns deadly when they are rejected by the woman.
