Hosnia Mohseni
This world belongs to me too.
The streets are mine too.
Believe me: I am tired.
I am tired of stepping behind your steps.
Let me walk next to you.
I am tired of being called the second sex.
I am tired of being referred to as “half-brained.”
I am tired of being assumed a choice-less victim.
I am not the victim in human history.
I have the ability to re-write history.
Come and believe: I am human.
Come, let us talk of humanity together.
