But She Is Strong


Its ringing

It keeps ringing

No NO No No

Five more minutes

I awake to find someone staring back at me

I look at all she has been through

All the scars

But she is Strong

Dark circles and paled skin

She is Strong

Light in her eyes and passion in her soul

I can see that some days she could give up

Some even expect her too

But she is strong

So many walls

So many bumps along the way

But she is Strong

She absorbs everything around her

The good, the bad, the devastatingly ugly

She cares and she is Strong

She will move mountains for those she holds close and those she doesn’t

She is driven and inspired

Craving the hunger to learn more

Experience life and dance in oppurtunity

She knows how it feels to be lost

Which is why she knows how much it means to be alive

I used to be scared to look in the mirror

But now She is Proud.
