It all started with a dream, as an innocent girl with spark beneath my soul,
A fire for passion, self-accomplishment & making myself whole.
Not for a prince, but for those who play life’s precious role
For no woman dreams of love or a ring anymore,
For society teaches every woman that love is confined to the “grand,” & no more.
Hence, all that I dreamed of, was making my parents happy & proud, to their very core.
And to carve my name in letters bold,
Cause you’ve got to make it happen, through stories untold!
Like every woman, I’m no fairytale queen,
For society measures worth by beauty, shallow and mean.
With a heart full of scars, every woman carries this weight as her routine,
Unsure of her flaws sealed by fate, unheard & unseen.
Yet I chose wisdom over what fades away,
For in my own truth, I’ll forever stay.
Cause you’ve got to make it happen, day after day!
Long hours, bruised feet, and a smile on my face,
Yet I give up my seat to those in need, with grace.
In empathy’s power, I found what truly matters in life’s race.
With a job so grueling, I strived to make my irreplaceable space.
Sleepless nights and endless miles on paths unknown,
But through every wound, my strength has grown.
Cause anyways, every woman makes it happen with a similar story, that of her own!
Praise and cheers are volatile, as they never stay long,
Good deeds often return to places they never belong,
As loved ones leave your side, some wounds remain lifelong,
However, I left the shadows to embrace the pain & re-emerge strong.
I explored the world, cut ties, and found my way through fate’s wrong,
Rediscovered my inner child amidst this painful song!
Because you sometimes just have to make it happen, no matter how long!
In a world full of flakiness, I chose to stay,
Through envy, deceit, and pride’s bitter display.
When others lashed out, I stepped in their shoes & refused to dismay.
Realized their hidden battles and blues, where they, themselves, struggle to stay.
Maybe it’s true, that insecure hearts often act out in fear, as they say,
However, their battles aren’t mine—And that’s definitely not where I shall let my peace relay.
Hence, I forgave harsh words, but held my happiness in every possible way,
I let my values be my final say,
Cause you always have to make it happen through patience and truth, that shall forever stay!
From a small, struggling job to a seat of esteem,
Every confetti tossed with a sight wreaking gleam.
Cuz Success isn’t just about fame, name & a beautiful dream
It’s just ‘respect’ that stands as my treasure, more precious than any gold or gem,
In work, in love, in friendships too,
Silent blessings have always seen me through.
What you give, in varied ways, definitely returns to you,
For life is to make it happen—no need to try, sometimes, it’s just true!
Cheers to my mother’s strength, my beloved aunt’s & sisters’ grace,
And to my protagonist, knowing the best, always guided me to a better place.
All precious women of my life had stories mixed with battle,harmony and grace,
Taught me to balance dreams with values that never replace.
Women teach women to love, to fight & to never chase,
Cause we all made it happen through all kinds of disgrace!
Finally, in my own power, I found my pride,
For no one can break what’s built, from inside.
My journey embarks strength & righteousness, to which I abide.
I’ve learned to win, placing every strom aside.
You say, ‘Woman is weak or too small’, I ask, ‘Who are you to decide?’
Through every cry & strom, a woman has got the power to stride,
Who cares about the Insecure souls may try to derail,
Because her truth and values shall forever prevail.
So here’s to the women who rise every day,
Who fight for their dreams, come what may.
You’re powerful, beautiful, and stronger than fear,
Am sure, your journey inspires, year after year.
So take a deep breath, and be the QUEEN of your ground,
For the world is yours, and your worth is irreplaceable & profound.
Cuz girl,
You,
Yes You!
Yes, you, right there!
I am sure YOU WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN THIS WOMAN’S DAY, LET COME WHAT MAY!
-Love, KK!
