Am a strong girl!

You are a strong girl! Your parents' strong girl! Your best friends' strong girl! Stay strong, be brave! fight for your self respect, for justice, for yourself.

This is what all around this ever so confident, joyous girl  told her when she broke down in front of her best friend and brother.

You don't have to be raped to get scarred. Just few physical harassment in the tender age can do the job. Hatred towards men, hatred towards society, hatred to oneself get etched on body and soul.

The all time confident girl has vanished somewhere. Only the fake smile,fake confidence and joyous chirpy girl remains in front of her family and friends. One has to just observe her keenly when she's alone to know her inner turmoil although She doesn't give up her true identity easily to anyone.

She hates herself for failing to react in those situations. She loathes for giving up. Curses herself for failing to stand up against the situation.

Each time she achieves something and is happy, she was knocked down two floors to the earth. Her confidence was getting crushed day by day. The feeling that happiness is not meant for her crept in.Not once , not twice but she was touched with dirty hands by the perverts of the society multiple times. She feels disgusted not because she was touched, rather because she couldn't respond to the situation. The numbness engulfed her at all times.

The time she reacted too, was pushed down.

She wants to fight. She ll fight. Her lost confidence is resurfacing with all its might to teach the perverts their lesson and show them their position in this world.

Yes, she's strong. She will come back with a bang for her family, her best friend and more for herself.

Am a strong girl.
