She second guesses every word,
every thought
every choice.
She has made many mistakes and still makes them daily.
She is not perfect by far.
She loves hard
her family
her friends
even complete strangers.
Her love pours out and sometimes it’s too much.
She gives everything to everyone.
a gift to those in need but a curse to her for those who take everything.
She is not good at saying no but
she does know perseverance
very well.
Her boldness moves her forward.
She never gives up.
She will always fight.
She is tough but so fragile.
She’ll never admit that to you.
But the secret cry in her heart knows the truth.
She came from nothing
this victory can never be taken away.
She has survived so much already yet still the rain falls.
She is not shaken.
She is calm.
She knows nothing of the future or where she’ll be.
Her risks have changed her path.
She couldn’t resist the temptation of adventure.
She wants to be different.
She wants to live
to love
to be found
to explore.
She wants more.
She is against herself and at the same time not.
Her struggle lies within
Her truths can be distorted
She needs Him.
She loves Him more than words.
He is her everything.
She knows that.
She stands on that fact with a smile.
Her life, like anyone’s, can be a storm
a sweet blessing
a burst of laughter
or carry the weight of a million tears.
She can be so many things.
She can be confident
encouraging
funny
insecure
honest
optimistic
angry
independent
At her worst she feels irrelevant.
She is content in her sorrow.
Her brokenness humbles her.
Her depth always brings her back.
In the midst of the passing moments she is always
just her.
She can be no one else.
She is unique.
She is missed.
She is loved.
She is enough.
It's time to Shine
