The mettle of a woman<\/p>\n

Is forged in fire
\nHammered by adversity.
\nShe rises from the coals
\nA phoenix fused into
\nA juggernaut of strength
\nAnd grace and accomplishment
\nShe raises everyone around her.
\nHer laughter teases and cajoles

\nI flinch and stutter.
\nLoud is too loud.
\nBright is too bright.

\nI repulse and annoy.

\nA cautionary tale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
