WOMEN LIKE YOU

"I am a woman with thoughts and questions and things to say. I say if I’m beautiful, I say if I’m strong. You will not determine my story- I will.” Amy Schumer

No matter what life brings your way, you just keep going.

You may falter for a moment, but always reclaim strength to forge forward.

A brave soul with the determination of a warrior.

Yet a quiet mystery carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders.

You’ve hidden truths behind the walls of your heart.

Protecting yourself from a cold cruel world.

At times, you were afraid of letting anyone get close.

Holding all your feelings in secret places.

Silently crying when the lights go out.

Knowing a bruise is tender but won’t last.

It’s the scar on your heart that has left a mark.

Harsh words.

Hurt feelings.

Silenced your worth.

But you’ve transformed your pain and suffering into wisdom and durability.

Some think you’re shy with nothing to say.

But words loose meaning when there is no love.

You’ve learned from the past, unafraid to speak your truth.

You’re a beautiful soul with a gentle spirit.

Knowing when you’re not appreciated it’s time to move on.

You are perfect and worthy just the way you are.

Charming, flawless, made of the stars.

Created by the angels with heavens delight.

You’ve carried your sadness without it weighing you down.

You held your darkness while still shining your light.

So often, you don’t realize how extraordinary you are.

Use your God given gifts to continuously serve others

Lift-up other women, embody authenticity and humility

Love deeply, live compassionately, you’re relentlessly unapologetic.

Your smile makes the world brighter.

Your laughter captures the moon.

You are a testimony of strength from all you’ve endured

A queen that will not give up her dreams no matter how many obstacles appear.

You are a fighter, a survivor, a woman of faith.

You are strong.

You have worth.

You are amazing and full of grace.

Beautifully broken but wholly remade.

Women like you were born to rule the world.
