Srishti Sharma, INDIA

Exclusive: Best of Women Poetry: Edited by Padmaja Iyengar-Paddy

BRAVOS!

Call me brave,

Before you call me beautiful.

Call me strong,

Before you call me stone-hearted.

Call me strong-headed,

Before you call me fragile.

Understand the pain,

Before you body shame me.

Every woman,

Goes through a lot,

Of pain, struggle.

Some negative,

And useless comments,

Let’s salute her undying spirit.

And,

Support her.

Respect her.
