Eight
Time after time
She gets put down
Yet she comes back stronger than before
The saying “fall seven times get up eight”
She lives it
Her smile never once breaking
Despite the world frowning at her
She’s like a stubborn birthday candle
Every time she’s put out
She seems to become lit once more
Burning stronger and brighter than the time before
Never holding a grudge
Because what’s the point?
Not allowing the darkness to swallow her up
Because what’s the point?
Never shedding a tear
Because there is no point
She’s the example of strong
Her name is strong
Everything about her is strong
And despite all odds
Despite all the doubts
Every time she’s hit
She seems to stand up
Strong.
