I HAVE TO BE A STRONG LADY...


I have to be a strong lady..
I have to be a strong lady..
To overcome all the obstacles..
To fight against my lost love..
To fight against my fears..
To overcome my insecurities..
To stand for my love..
To stand for my strengths..
To  fullfill my dreams..
To  complete my bucket list..
To stand for my people..
To hold my head high up...
To stand in my own feet..
To pen my own words..
To shop with my own money..
To help the needy..
I have to be a strong lady..
I have to be ..
To survive..
To protest..
To protect my rights..
To walk at nights without fear..
To be drenched in the rain..
To overcome my frustrations..
To fight against the norms of the society..
To speak out my own words..
To sing loudly ..
To dance freely ..
To teach my conclusions..
To establish my own ideas..
To face the greatest threats..
I  have to be strong...
Here I go with my shield of confidence,
to bring back the hiding lights.
And they call me a strong lady.

She thought that when night comes  the hole in the center would only let Bawedjige( good dreams)pass. She would be able to sleep safe and sound today. The nightmares will never ever haunt her. For she has her Dreamcatcher. And Bawedjigewin( bad dreams) will be trapped in the web, to be dispelled at the first light of morning. She slept. The sun rays pierced into her eyes. She opened her eyes with the innocence of a newborn babe. The thought stroke...

Everytime there came a music from the old devastated house on the hilltop.It wasn't jazz or melody or rap or opera. It sounded the broken soul. The long lost soul set to dwindle and shrink in solitude.Sewed into melancholy and dresssed in rhapsody,the hilltop triumphed over the hurricane of that season.And the music from the house gradually faded away,to welcome the next season.

Recognition

'Happy Women's Day ' Those three words transformed her. It changed her imperfections into Perfections. It fastened her daily Chores. It gifted a smile to her Face. It motivated her Spirits. It gave rhythm to her Heartbeats. It made her Hairs dance. It increased the sweetness of her Lullaby. It brought back the glitters in her Eyes. It was the recognition from her Husband. A.C
