This just in
She’s a chain breaker,
not a peace faker,
don’t come to her crying if you ain’t ready
to level up greater.

She’ll hold a man accountable,
not because she’s cold,
but because she knows love
ain’t real if it folds.

She got knocked down
plenty.
But never stayed too low,
'cause every fall taught her
where not to go.

She’s the voice in the silence,
the calm in the blow,
and if life don’t make sense today
she still knows it’s gonna grow.

Don’t mistake her hurt for weakness,
or her silence for defeat,
she’s the one who smiles through fire
and still lands on her feet.

For every other day
comes a bigger reason,
she’s not just surviving
she’s shifting seasons.

So if you sad,
but stuck in the same mess
she ain’t gonna sugarcoat it,
she’ll tell you:
“It’s ‘cause you ain’t done the work yet.”

She’s a mother, a warrior,
a truth teller, a flame
and she never lets her pain
go unloved or unnamed.

This just in
She’s her.
And if you ever doubted,
she’s already outgrown
everything you lied about
