A Grieving Traveler

I sat in a train again Without you... I sat with pain again Without you.. I wish you were there I wish to get back your stare I wish to share some words How I wished to look out of the window the same way as yesterday.. This journey that I start again Without you... This journey that I pause more often Without you... As there is no one to put a hand on My shoulder of disdain.. As there is no one to just make a  Harmless gesture of being insane.. How I wished to sip that cup of tea with a relentless life beyond the sea waiting to be free.. *Dedicated to my mom as she shares her feeling of loneliness after my dad passed away last year. They both used to love traveling together... * picture courtesy the author while she captures this on her train ride to  Carlisle, PA.

Learning To Live Beyond Just A Day

From not being heard to be heard,

From not being read to be literary maestros,

From not being paid to be paid equally,

From not being raised to be raised with honor,

From not being spoken to be asked for opinions,

From being killed to be living with valor,

From being weak to be fighting against the strong,

From not being picked to be the one paving the path for others through thick and thins,

From being buried to being rebelliously dodging death since their birth,

From being burned to ashes to being able to sustain the blazing cult,

From being the unknown dashes to fill enough to shut the backlashes,

And while the yesteryear woman stand proudly to see today's woman realizing...

"We Indeed Have Come A Long Way"

A new born girl, stares at her mother's eyes,

While she grasps her in her arms and whispers in her ears...

"May you get to skip all the unwanted days, 

and live in a world where gender isn't a misnomer

to your slightest dismay"...

"Rule the World, as you rule out every odd that keeps you from doing so..."
