I fall apart
She lifts me up
I give up on myself
She teaches me lessons of self-worth
I brood over situations
She lends a helping hand to come over it
My thoughts immerse in negativity
She helps me channelise them towards optimism
I stumble upon the hopelessness
She guides to pave a path of hopefulness
When I’m critical of my existence
She realises my impact on millions
She is a friend, a sister, a healer
more than any therapist
more than any doctor
She is a woman of Self-determination!
