She is Strong

"Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them become what they are capable of becoming." -- Goethe


She is the girl who constantly hopes for a better day. The one that won't give up on someone despite all that people have put her through in different situations.  She is the girl who is unlike all the rest. She is definitely not one of the majority. She spends her days smiling and her nights crying alone.  Oh how much she would love to be loved.  She looks sooooo strong, yet feels so weak.  However, she manages to pick herself up every time that she falls.  She doesn't understand why people act towards her the way that they do...jealousy, hatred, animosity, is it something she did?  Whatever it is, it sure can't be because they love and admire her. She's the girl who believes that what comes around goes around.  And therefore, she will not seek revenge or let her pride get in the way.  She will just let her successes come and she will act with such humility... that is what will always keep people guessing about how she really did it and why she isn't down as they had hoped she would be.


She has made mistakes in her life and has let people take advantage of her.  She has accepted way less than what she deserves.  She has learned from all of the bad choices and has managed to get through the consequences that came with them.  She realizes that there are some moments that she would never get back. But it is okay, because she is content with where she is. She will know better for the next time, will know when people are taking advantage of her, and will not settle for anything less than what she deserves.  Because that is what happens when you are forced to be strong.
