On the days I don’t know the difference between day and night;
It is them, who show me that it is ok to not know
It is them, who tell me that it is dark, and it is okay
It is them who tell me that I could consider opening curtains
To let the light come in,
On the days I feel invisible;
It is them who remind me that it is ok to feel invisible
It is them who remind me that it is me who has to notice my presence
It is them who say things I don’t want to hear, but I need to hear
To help me see myself, in my own life,
On the days I feel like crying my heart out to let go of the burden I’m carrying;
It is them who remind me that I can cry; that I can weep
It is them who don’t tell me that I have to be strong
It is them who don’t tell me that I have to be brave
It is them who remind me that I can just be myself
It is them who remind me that I can let go of the baggage at my own pace,
On the days I don’t want to hear a word;
It is them who sit in silence with me
Not bothered to say a word
It is them who fill the silence
With the love they carry within,
These women indeed are the safe space I never knew existed,
These women indeed are the definition of wholesomeness I craved all along,
These women indeed are the reason I know how much love I have in me,
These women indeed are the reason I became one.
