"And some mornings I’d wake in daylight to find my body covered with paw prints in blood; I looked as though I’d been painted with roses"- Annie Dillard

I rise?
To the sky, I rise?
Chains broken
?I am free? of every pain, every burden
As ?I gaze at my reflection,
I see a warrior staring back at me
?Bruises, covering the outside?
But it doesn’t make me ?any less of a woman?
Now I know that beauty lies within
?That beauty runs deeper than my skin
