I’m from a place where women were loved and protected

A place where kindness is in abundance and trust is never broken

I’m from a place where we never said goodbye but see you later

A place where women didn’t first have to pray for a safe return when leaving the house for the corner shop.

I’m from a place where women weren’t killed like flies for merely breathing, blinking and existing
