whether we’re going through menopause, ovulating,
when our boobs are sore,
or our hormones cannot decide whether to make us laugh or cry.When we need to skip the gym because we are in pain,
or when we’re scared to call in sick because we are drained.Is this cliché, you say?
Well, it’s still okay to feel this way!There always seems to be something—
whether it’s through pregnancy, fighting for a higher position,
being emotionally or physically abused,
not being appreciated,
or feeling we can no longer go on.
To the women,
to the girls,
to the ones standing up or sitting quietly, waiting for the right time,
to the ones fighting to protect their homes,
to the women of war:
You are seen.
You are appreciated.
You are not alone.
You are love in a tangible form.
