We Are Women
written by: Jannat Kamran
We are women, born in a world so dark—
no windows, just broken jars,
wishes so dull, echoing through skies.
We are women, not allowed to desire.
Writing this makes me nauseous.
Being a woman is so tiring—
fulfilling others’ desires.
In a world so progressive,
we are antique—
sitting like art, of no need.
We are women, just an object,
only allowed to please and breathe.
Jannat is a literature student and emerging writer whose work engages with questions of womanhood, identity, silence, and the lived realities of constraint. Writing primarily in free verse and reflective prose, she explores how personal experience intersects with cultural expectations, social conditioning, and inherited forms of control. Her writing often dwells in spaces of emotional fatigue, muted resistance, and unspoken desire, paying close attention to what is normalized, suppressed, or left unnamed in women’s lives.
