Beautiful is

Beautiful is
a strong voice
a compassionate heart
the will to survive

Beautiful is
standing up
showing up
being there

Beautiful is
the courage
to walk through the fire
believing you’ll get
to the other side

Beautiful is
scars that tell stories
and survivors
willing to share them

Beautiful is
those who’ve walked
1 million painful steps
and wake up
each day
excited to
take another

Beautiful is
the struggles
the journeys
the broken roads
that lead you
home

Beautiful is
that moment
you accept
who
you
really
are
