From the dark to the dawn

To all the women out there: You stood up when they told you to sit down. You asked why when they ordered you to shut your mouth. You dared to move forward when they mocked you. You fought against injustice even when you stood alone. You showed up when they tried to push you away. You gave your best when they doubted your competence. Every step you took forward paved the way for your fellow women and the ones yet to come. Thank you for persisting in a world that isn't always safe and kind to women. We stand beside each other, stronger together. Happy Women's Day! Keep shining and inspiring. More power to you!  Stay tuned! 

There was a girl,  who used to sleep deep, Now, the slightest movement in her room wakes her up. There was a girl, who did not care for her messy room, Now, carefully folds every piece of cloth. There was a girl, who spoke till her heart emptied, Now, focuses more on listening. There was a girl, who used to fill her up with chocolates for every skipped meal, Now, chooses healthy food for every meal. There was a girl,  who did not give a damn to speed limits and speed brakes, Now, drives her car slowly and avoiding any crates carefully. There was a girl, who dreamt randomly without caring to complete them, Now, adds meaning to her ambitions. There was a girl, who lived with on her own terms with no rules, Now, abides by every rule she sets for herself. She was a girl then, Now, she is a mother. She knows her actions have more effect than her words,  She learns to be responsible and mature everyday.
