My Iron Woman

She never meant to go down the hard roads that she did, 
it’s just how her life turned out.
She didn’t choose her story..
Her story chose her.
It’s been a tale of heartache and heartbreak,
falls and failures, struggle and loss.
But even more than that, her story is one of rising from the ashes, getting stronger with very mistake and becoming more beautiful after she was broken.
They’ll call her distant, cold or unforgiving- 
that’s just because they don’t bother to try to see past her steely facade..
Not to keep others out, but to protect herself.
She’s been hurt countless times before by lovers, friends and even family..
And she has a bitter taste in her mouth from it.
So, maybe she doesn’t welcome everyone into her life with open arms,
 not because she’s standoffish, but because she’s more careful now who she lets get close to her.
She vowed never again to let the people who didn’t deserve her time or love past her walls.. 
anyone who has gotten close to her has earned it- 
she’s worth that and so much more.
Most people don’t understand her and men always seem to have an opinion about her, 
but then, weaker people always put down the strongest souls that they can’t tame.
She’s not changing to please anyone and she’s not pretending to be anything she isn’t.
She’s real, passionate and always there for the people she loves..
The rest have to prove they’re worth her affection.
Maybe she’s not the most popular person, 
but she’d rather have a few amazing friends than countless fake ones.
So, don’t mistake her tough exterior-
 she has a heart of gold and the deepest of souls..
But she will always keep her head, standards and hopes high, because she’s driven to be better and always rise above the struggle of every day life.
So, when you meet her, take in the beauty of a woman that’s been born again and broken in the fire of her life.
She’s one of a kind and rightfully so- she’s survived what most never could,
And she’s done it with a smile on her face and love in her heart.
She’ll always be that one lady that can’t be defined, contained or easily understood..
Just the way she likes it.
She is and will always be ..
Unforgettable
