Inside Out

She knew depths.  She climbed and climbed until she reached the top. 

She fought demons.  Everyday she struggled to fight what she knew on the inside, understanding what she would allow herself to show and knowing who she wanted to be.

Never defeated.

Her smiles hid everything but she was okay.

She knew if she kept climbing, fighting and understanding that everything would be okay.

And that smile, that smile of relief revealed everything she ever needed to know about the strength inside of herself.
