She’s the one that does everything for everyone with a smile on her face.
Her people marvel at her strength and praise her ferocity.
But what they don’t know about this strong woman, what they don’t realize is that even she has her moments of weakness.
The minutes that she steps back from the world, recollects herself and even cries a bit when the weight of her life overwhelms her.
But then she does what she does best:
Pulls herself together, wipes away the tears and recomposes herself … and no one ever even notices a difference.
She’s happy doing what she does and being who she is, but there are just those random fleeting moments where she wishes for once, someone would take charge and take care of her.
Truthfully, she feels weak and guilty for having those moments, but sometimes, it just gets hard always being the rock, the strong woman that can do anything and be everything.
Her entire life, she’s been forced to be the way she is, so she just did what she had to do and never depended on anyone for what she could do herself.
So, when the weariness overtakes her, she quietly muses that she longs to be able to step back and be taken care of..
She’ll always be that strong person able to overcome anything, but even she needs rest-
Not the kind that requires sleep, but the deeper soul recharging sort of respite.
So, she’ll just smile and wistfully hope that one day, maybe she’ll find that brave soul strong enough to be her equal and be her refuge when she needs it…
But she’s not going to expect it or believe it until it happens.
Until that day, she’ll keep doing what she does:
Living fully, loving hard and being the strong woman that does it all.
