She

 

She

She is a powerful soul, but at times,

uncertainty permeates every corner of her being.

She wonders if she is 

enough: good enough, pretty enough, skinny enough, quiet enough, smart enough.

But then,

not too smart, too bossy, too ambitious, too curvy, too loud,

Because too much is almost worse than not enough.

But something stops her spiraling,

The echoes of women who have come before,

they envelop her in a soothing embrace.

A whole chorus of she’s

Cheering for her. 

Empowering her

Reminding her that she is always enough and never too much.

That she is everything she needs to be,

and so much more.

“Embrace who you are” they seem to whisper,

“Love absolutely everything about who you are.”

So she wills herself to love. 

It's hard. Frustrating, even.

But in time, something remarkable happens. 

She sees it,

she sees the beauty in herself.

She sees the wild and beautiful flame that drives her.

She is mighty, but sassy, quirky, fun, kind.

She is passionate and excited,

a hopeless romantic.

A book lover, hippie, nerd, photographer, athlete. 

A visionary.

She is a light in this dark world,

a beacon of hope, courage, joy.

She is unstoppable.

She is me.

and 

She is you.
