Her courage. Her courage is something unattainable like a rare gem that’s been discovered.
Her courage seeps through her heart like lava flowing from a volcano and glows for everyone to see.
Her courage was her mask before COVID to hide her pain and has now become her identity.
Her courage is like the light at the end of a long dark tunnel that represents the result of suffering and abuse she’s endured.
Her courage forces you to make the same face you would as you watch the sun rise in the sky and are amazed.
Her courage is a cliffhanger and leaves your mind wanting to know more about her story.
Her courage is that of a survivor and cannot be broken for the second time.
