She walks
With her head held high
With no reason to cry
With love in her eyes.
She walks
With purpose
With a passion to live
With hope in her spirit.
She walks
Without stigma
Without pain
Without worry.
She walks
Simply because
She does not believe a virus would make her crawl into a belief
That she could not be what she wanted to be.'
