woman

a woman, no matter how strong,
needs to have someone to lean on.


When the going gets tough,
And I get tired from studying,
regardless of how much i convince myself
that i am numb;
Strong enough to carry on alone
Reality remains
That I still wish someone here


Someone to lean on,
to wipe my tears away
to hush my fears
to hug me & chase all my fears away


Acute loneliness
Acute need to have a pillar
Yet when this longing subsides,
the mask remains on
A strong female to the world
Till the next wave rises
