When I face trouble

Or if I stumble

I still smile, I endure and don't mumble.

Because a strong woman I am.

But at times I fall weak too

And that's when my mind drifts to you

Though such moments are few

I wish not to be such a strong woman.

At such moments, I no more want to be so guarded

Without thinking too much, I feel to have frowned.

For once, stop consoling others, and feel like being consoled.

At times such, this strong woman imagines of you

No matter, how strong, some times

You feel the need for a shoulder to lean on

I foresee the moments from now, you and me on grassy lands.

I would at that time finally for once would not be so strong.

But I know for a fact that:

Your shoulder and my face just an inch apart

Still you won't feel the weight of my head on your shoulder

My head would never lower, not because I am proud

Because lean on I would never, not because I don't feel like

But because being a strong  woman I will select forever

-An Iron Woman
who imagines His Shoulder
only to never lean on.
