About this piece
This is a poem about how women are overshadowed in most communities, despite being strong, but never strong enough, never good enough. Never toghether A reflection of resilience , identity , this piece explores how unseen threads may bind us , struggles into stagnation
Together we were stitched
Stories older than our silence
Threads of red earth and resilience
we sought the pain we
once felt comfort in
In the quiet battle no one sees
again and again we rise
Never broken but woven
We are the society
Wisdom sought from unlikest of sources
A pulse that refuses to fade
Together for Strength
but never strongh enough
