I know you. You’re the one wearing that smile, even though last night you barely slept. Your pictures tell a different story, of happiness on the surface, but there’s a pain in your soul. I think the world of you. The way you stand upright, refusing to fall. You walk through the sadness, and if you had to, you’d crawl. So, to the strongest souls I know, to the one’s reading this now, when the world throws its challenges, brush them off and adjust your crown.
