She is…I will

She is my vision of beauty, yet she does not see her own.
(I will make sure I am aware of my beauty I will accept it and be thankful it is not a curse)

She is my pillar of strength, though she hides her pain and sorrow from everyone including herself.
(I will soften my pillar and allow softness to be the strength I need)

She is my mentor and teacher, and there is so much I do not know about her
(I will be vulnerable and share my journey, so others can learn from and be encouraged by my lessons)

She is poised and eloquent, while she hides her anxieties and worries.(I will work to heal all the torn spaces and shine light into any darkness that surrounds me)

We are enough.
