Before you we stand,
We who mastered the art of ignorance, passiveness and not just giving a ****
Yes, we grew in it, molded it, reflected it, perfected it till it became second skin
We were crippled for life
We loved and got our hearts snatched away
We became ghosts that wandered, shadows with no sense of being
We learnt to grow up and survive
Never to throw our hearts on the line again
We don’t kiss with our eyes closed
We never know what’s lurking within the shadows
We don’t fall blindly
We learnt never to throw caution to the wind so our lives are in constant battles to be won over lies and deception
Love has not been kind to us
So we fight
We…
The women who have loved too much.
