I wonder.

As I stand here, I wonder....

I wondered if there would be anything ahead. 

I wondered if I'd find my way. 

I wondered if I'd lead myself to where I want to go. 

I wonder where I am. 

I wonder what I'd do. 

I wonder if there is more. 

I wonder if there are smiles or frowns.

I wonder if I'll find myself. 

I wonder who I am. 

I wonder where I'd go. 

I wonder who would be around me. 

I wonder what I'll see if I just stare into space. 

I wonder if it's calm. 

I wonder if it's bumpy. 

I wonder if there's peace. 

I wonder if there's love. 

I wonder if there's hope. 

As I stand here, I wonder. 

I wonder... 

Chains or me?

You've seen people tied up?

People tied up in ropes... 

People tied up in handcuffs... 

People tied up in chains... 

What must go through their minds? 

Do they think happy thoughts? 

Do they think of a pretty place? 

Do they think of the people they love? 

Do they think of love, laughter and life? 

Do they think dark thoughts? 

Do they think of horrid places? 

Do they think of sadness and death? 

Can the clothes on our body make us feel tied? 

Can the shoes we were make us feel restrained? 

Can the skin that covers our skeleton make us feel like we're suffocating? 

Are these chains? Or is it just me? 

Chains or me? 

Women's Day

Who is a Woman? 

She is beautiful, irrespective of whether she wears make up or not, whether she's bald or has long hair, irrespective of her size and age.

She is one who loves. 

She is one who nurtures and cares. 

She is bold, brave and strong. 

She is dedicated.

She is motivated. 

She is selfless. 

She is the creator of the world and of life. 

She is the one that gave all of us this beautiful life. 

She is one who deserves love, respect, care, and a thousand salutes. 

I salute every woman I've ever known and every woman I've never known. Without you the world would not exist. 

Happy Women's Day!
