She walked through the rough streets like a queen
Owning the spaces she walks.
Making her way through the rooted patriarchy
Emphasizing that her confidence is not her arrogance.
Her head held high passing the sexist remarks and
Giving away her credit of her promotion to her gender rather than her hard work
Cake walking with her high heels
Crumbling the slut shaming accuses of “You are a woman”
“You” should act like this, “You” should not go out more with men
Walking with pride in her tank top and shorts.
knowing that the length of her attire does not define her character.
Adorning herself with a saree, her pallu flowing over her arm
Convinced that her smile cannot be taken advantage of.
In her oversized t-shirts and baggy jeans
Assured that her politeness cannot be taken for granted.
Wearing bold makeup, and ornate jewelry with a graceful bindi.
Unfazed and sure that her marital status is not a judgmental factor.
