Unstoppable

She hated her job and went to work.
She lost her religion still attending church.
She smiled when she wanted to cry.
She lived while considering suicide.
She stood courageous being stoned by shame.
She kept her head despite mental pain.
Have you saw the internal mountains she's moved?
Have you heard about the demons slayed?
Yes. She is powerful and so fucking brave.
She took breaths when life suffocated her lungs.
Watch her. Witness the woman she is bound to become.

I know so many resilient women. I am a resilient woman. Shout out to us! ❤
