The Warrior


Looking in the mirror,

I see you.

You terrify me.

Try to break me.

Tear me down.

But I am strong.

 

Looking in the mirror,

I see you.

You lift me up.

Support me.

Give me courage.

Because I am strong.

 

I look in the mirror

and I see myself.

A powerful woman.

A warrior fighting a battle in her head

Every

Day

of her

Life.

 

She will no longer bow down to thoughts of worthlessness.

She will no longer submit to misery.

I will no longer surrender.

Because I am strong.
