A Force

He mistook her kindness for weakness. That was when she rose with eyes full of fire a song full of mirth and a heart infused with love. This same compassion that she showed others, she had learned to show herself. He hesitated... he hadn't known she was a different kind of fire... she was a different kind of love.. she was a different kind of song. The way she fought for others, she had finally learned to requite in love for herself, And that was a force to be reckoned with.

You are definitely a force to reckon with, Michelle. Sometimes it takes a while for others to see the fire in us or the songs we compose. In life, we have to love ourselves too. If we don't life could become miserable. Love this write...stay strong, dear friend. Welcome to PS :) Hugs Charlie
