With just a glance, I can feel the pain you’ve been through. The joy, too.

Somber, yet highly intelligent.

Beneath the power of your confidence and the veil of the walls you’ve built to protect your shattered heart, I see you.

You are a kind soul, speaking gently with love filling your voice. Mixed in is a touch of mental anguish — a glimpse of the pain you’re hiding from the world.

You don’t want the world to see you’re hurting. And the illusion you’ve created to hide your pain is one of power, dominance, and control.

Yet when you smile, a vision of pure beauty. Love and joy emanate from your aura; momentarily casting aside the wall you’ve created.

You deserved to be seen.

You deserve to be loved, fully, for who you are.

You deserve to glow.
