So much more

She's the single mom who works to keep her babies fed. She's the woman who passes you on the sidewalk. She's the grandmother who doesn't always remember, but loves just the same. She's the girl who feels misunderstood by the world. She the person working the nine to five to just make ends meet. She's the one struggling to get an education so she exceeds in life. She's the woman by your side. Day in day out she never ceases to amaze, her strength and abilities are always increasing. She takes on more jobs than she knows what to do with, but never complains.
But sometimes she doesn't want to be seen as a mere acquaintance to everyone else...or just the girl who is with you. She has a past. A colorful one at that. She has a family...who seem pretty screwed up at times-but wouldn't miss out on a day with them for anything. She is constantly proving herself so that she makes them proud. She has hopes and dreams that are hidden down deep inside. She has fears and things she wishes never changed-and sometimes it gets the best of her. She wants you to know who she was before she came to this point in her life. She wants to tell you of who she used to be...and how she still sometimes wants to be that person. How carefree she wishes to be. She wants you to know that she isn't just this woman, she is a daughter and a granddaughter, who loves so much it hurts.
She wants you to see her passion.
She wants you to know that alot of times she has trouble combining her roles...that she isn't always sure where she belongs. Sometimes she doesn't want be known as this woman-she just wants to be able to go back for just a minute and paint for you the picture that gives her hope. She wants you to see her as so much more than this misunderstood girl or this woman trying to make ends meet.She wants you to see her life the way she sees it. She closes her eyes and it is right there, as if it is reality. But putting something so indescribale into words seems to be the ultimate challenge.
She tries, but no one seems to understand, and so she buries it down deep again and moves on, once again just being the woman with you.
She is soo much more than that.
