// 3 PM
Who are strong women?
The ones who wear capes?
The ones who lift weights?
What about those
whose smiles carry a little sadness?
Who work late nights and early mornings,
stretching themselves to make ends meet.
Try to juggle work, family,
society and their identity in-between.
The ones who have lunch alone at 3 PM
taking a break from all the roles
they had no choice but play
and shed a tear or two
nursing a heartbreak
in the silence of the loud emptiness
that surrounds them.
Don't you think they are strong?
Don't you?
