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.
