She Never

She made the choice a long time ago to never surrender to the problems and challenges that tried to bring her down.
She never set out to become strong, tough or brave, her story never gave her another option.
She’s always done whatever it takes to make it where she’s trying to go, but she’s never sold her soul or sacrificed her values to reach her goals.
She’s not perfect, and she gave up trying to be a long time ago.
She’s made her fair shares of mistakes, wrong turns and bad love choices, but that never stopped her from pushing forward
She always asked “why me,” but she found a way through the struggles..every time they came her way
She’s more than just a simple woman, though you may not know that at first glance.
She’s a warrior spirit, with the soul of a dreamer and the heart of a lover and so much more
More than anything, she’s been searching for peace and love since the very beginning.
She’s always been that person that loves with all her heart
She’s never questioned the timing of life, she’s learned to do the hardest thing of all:
Trust. And they took it from her in one setting
She lost trust in Herself, and her surroundings all the things that she stopped believing in so long ago
She’s had her heart broken into a million pieces and she’s always been the one to pick up the pieces and put herself back together again..
Each time better and stronger than before.
Shes a survivor though, some days, she felt like that was all she was doing.
Most importantly, she’s always kept her fire burning and kept her light shining brightly in her eyes..always believing in a better tomorrow throughout it all.
Maybe one day she’ll rest and take some time for herself..but that time isn’t now.
She still has much to do and an entire future she’s waiting to live
She never gave up she’ll continue to fight to the end.
