Things I Like

A beautiful soul who always seems to be smiling and laughing..

But they know what she wants them to know, they see what she wants them to see.

She accepts and loves people for who they are, without judgement or expectation.

Her battles are the quiet ones no one knows about, behind closed doors and silent tears.

She cries from inexplicable sadness, momentary angst and absolute weariness.

Not the sort of tired that sleep can satisfy, but the deeper kind- a soulful fatigue that needs much more than rest.

She seeks no pity from those in her life, for she is the strong one..

Because sometimes, being strong is her only choice.

She loves with all her heart, lives every day to its fullest and gives everything her all.

She’s learned to temper her expectations and depend on herself.

Strong willed, sassy and feisty, she’s the woman that people never forget..and she makes sure her voice is heard.

Not just to talk, but because her words have meaning and her thoughts matter.

She’s not a candle in the wind, she’s a roaring wildfire.

It doesn’t mean she doesn’t fight her internal battles of insecurities, fears and worry, only that she knows her strength and never gives up.

She’s not a fighter because she always wins, but because she never stays down.

She’s okay with being a beautiful mess and a wonderful disaster,

Because she’s not defined by all the things others focus on-flaws and imperfections.

She knows who she is, what she wants and she won’t stop until she’s happy.

She’s the strongest of women, but not in the way that people think-

She’s tough in heart and hardy of soul.

She loves when she shouldn’t, more than they’ll ever love her back..

And yet, she still keeps pouring out her heart.

That’s the beauty and blessing of a strong and soulful woman.
