Today...
As I was outside for a smoke,
I hear someone shouting... a woman to be precise
Door bangs...
And a guy walks towards the gate...


I continued to drag a few pulls into my lungs...intrigued...
A woman walks out and yells...*name!*...*name!*
I sinked low into my chair,
And noticed people still peeking through their windows...
And it hit me...


Why are women labelled as weak?
The heart of a woman carries a lot of secrets
Her shoulders carry a heavy burden imposed on her...not of her will
Her head repeatedly plays events that make her shudder,
Yet she smiles...


A woman is said to be soft,
Yet like a rock she stands firmly in one place.
Labelled, her name slandered, her dignity destroyed
Yet still she stands...


What we never ask her is who made her that way?
Some say she is stupid and easily forgets,
Because she easily forgives...?
Every “stupid date” she remembers...


I am guessing *name!* never turned back...
Something made her mad,
Yet she forgives... she loves...and she smiles
