Stand strong

-



Hello Everyone. I haven't posted anything in a while as I have been preoccupied with exams followed by annual day preparation. Today however, I got the time and this is a poem I have written on how we feel about ourselves. I myself at times feel like I am inferior to others or that others try to bring me down but I try to reflect and this is what I have come to realize.I know that many people feel alone and like no one can understand them but hopefully this poem will help us appreciate and love ourselves. 


If they try to pull you down, 
Then don't get pulled at all 
If they try to make you fall 
Stand up twice as proud and tall

If they are the cause of your tears 
Make them reactants of success
If they try to bring out the worst in you
Then exhibit your very best

If they say that you are not 
Then prove them wrong by showing that you are
If they try to spur unhappiness
Consider them bumps in the road and travel far

If they laugh at your differences 
Then readily laugh along 
For they do not comprehend your uniqueness
They envy that you belong. 

If they laugh at your mistakes
Don't give and but try 
For one day when you are ready 
You shall spread wings to soar and fly. 

 A great woman said 
"no one can make you feel inferior without your consent"
For we are the rulers of our lives
We choose how our emotions are dealt.

A person who was considered "introverted" in the traditional and almost confining sense, I took to writing as a means of comfort and self-expression, a means through which I could reflect upon my thoughts, actions and ideas, and if I was fortunate enough, aspire change. Words were not so much as a means of communication, but a way of life. Although 2 years does not spur ample growth, I consider myself mature enough to reflect upon the past, and as I do so, I realize that my content and all that I wrote, were fruits I bore from the seeds of hope, a yearning for a better and more equal world. Nonetheless, as we face this the repercussions of the coronavirus lock down, I have been forced to face the stark realities of our world, and while I consider myself one of the most privileged people to be living such a comfortable life despite the situation, what little I have been exposed to, causes me to...

I am a feminist...are you?

Feminism. While reading the title, I am assured of the fact that 90% of my viewers(if I have managed to scrounge a few) would have sighed out loud and wondered why I seek to talk about this topic that has almost become a cliche, for while some find the topic to be "overrated" others secretly harbor the notion that feminism is but one of those movements that is a short-lived craze, a"fad" if you will. My desire to write this article was due to a rather interesting statistic I read online, which stated that according to a 2015 poll, while 18% of Americans consider themselves feminists, 85% said they believed in "equality for women", and the harsh undertones of irony in the very responses, that people believed feminism and gender  equality were at two opposite ends of the spectrum  was when I realized society's fallacious belief and lack of understanding on what feminism truly entails.  So in lieu to bust the stigma that encapsulates our society...
