She is born once,
but she lives a thousand lives.

A daughter who learns care and responsibility,
a sister who shares her dreams and space,
a wife who balances love with expectation,
a daughter-in-law who finds her voice in silence,
a mother who discovers strength in surrender,
and a professional who holds her ground in a world that questions her place.

With every new role, a new self blooms,
and yet, quietly, another part of her dissolves.

The world celebrates her strength,
but seldom pauses to feel her storm.
They tell her, “You’re lucky we let you work,”
forgetting that her wings were never granted, they were hers from the start.

When motherhood arrives, she’s told it’s pure joy,
and it is, but also chaos cloaked in calm.
Her body changes, her heart expands,
her identity trembles between who she was and who she’s becoming.
And as she nurtures life, she yearns for someone to nurture her too.

Instead, she faces expectations,
to smile, to perform, to return to “normal.”
But no one asks what she needs,
what she feels,
what she’s silently carrying.

Dear society,
Empowerment is not in permission,
it’s in presence.
It’s in listening when she can’t find words,
in supporting her when she’s rediscovering herself,
in reminding her that she doesn’t have to be everything, all the time.

Behind every strong woman
isn’t perfection,
it’s a mosaic of tears, resilience, and rebirth.
She doesn’t need applause;
she needs understanding.
