The Power of Saying Thank You

The power of saying thank you cuts deep here-dripping with sarcasm to expose harsh truths about women’s safety.

Thank you for proving nowhere is safe, not even a temple.
Thank you for hammering home that I can’t venture out alone-ever.
Thank you for forcing me to embrace constant fear.

Thank you for stripping away any illusion of freedom.

Thank you for showing outfits and age mean nothing.

Thank you for revealing humanity’s decline.

Thank you for underscoring how vulnerable I feel in my own country.

Thank you for letting religion fuel the divide.

Thank you for making me question my worth.

Thank you for laying bare the ugly reality.
