An undervalued courage
It takes a daring woman to see the strength
of remaining soft in a hard world.
To love like you've never been hurt,
when your heart has been broken many times.
The greatest act of bravery is to recognize that
loving someone makes you vulnerable,

I do not wish to go through doors
when all I see is black.
The colors that I used to see
