To all the women out there

Trust me! You're stronger than you think! You cried over him who left you to warm his bed with another woman. He abused you physically and mentally each and everyday yet you kept telling yourself "I love him it's alright"
You sacrificed your own happiness for your family. Not for once you thought you have a life of your own!

You were taught to cook the rice perfectly for your future husband, you were told to lower your voice or else no man would like you, you were educated to have a certificate cause the matrimonial world demands it nowadays.

You gave and gave yet you never realized your pale face. You never realized Allah has given you such a beautiful soul. You never saw all the bruises that left a mark on your tired heart.

You loved everyone and everything except the one person and that's yourself. Cause darling you were never taught to love yourself. But for once start to do it and I guarantee you, you'll be the best lover you ever had!
It's difficult at first but trust me you will shine so bright that all those who hurt you will be left blind.

This is to those women who are hurt and have no place to pour their heart out. This to those who gave me the honour of being a small part in listening to their story. This is dedicated to those whom I am yet to reach.

All the love and best wishes to all you warriors.
