The Scale Must Be Lying
Alishba Asif
Alishba is a Pakistani writer, content creator, and emerging life coach whose work explores the emotional and social dimensions of womanhood in South Asia. Having lived through infertility, endometriosis, and the quiet complexities of a joint family, her writing gives voice to silenced experiences; the pain, endurance, and spiritual resilience that define many women’s lives.
Her poetry blends vulnerability with power, often tracing the intersection of body, faith, and identity. Through her Instagram platform, Alishba creates reflective and healing spaces for women navigating loss, self-worth, and rediscovery. @aavoiceofhope captures the essence of womanhood and silent suffering in everyday lives of desi women all over the world.
Her contribution to TWS's themed anthology on Women Empowerment in Pakistan captures the essence of survival, transformation, and divine connection, reminding readers that even in silence, a woman’s soul continues to speak. The following poems are drawn from reality, some born of Alishba’s own experiences, others inspired by the women around her. The collection closes with a tender note of hope.
