Miriam's Poems 🫶🏼

Behind every joint,
Is a girl who was always afraid to disappoint.

Behind every blunt,
Is a girl who was full of happiness, love, and trust.

Behind every cart,
Is a girl who learned to turn her pain into art.

Behind every high,
Is a girl who cries for her grandparents as she looks up to the sky.

Behind every bottle,
Is a girl who loves to travel through her novels.

Behind every can,
Is a little girl who promised to never go down this path.

Behind every smile,
Are the hidden tears that I’ve spilled since a child.

Behind every blade,
Is a girl who promised to never hurt herself and 
was always afraid.

Behind every cut,
Is a girl who suffered from her own mind but everyone thought she was nuts.

Behind every weight lifted, behind all the muscle gained,
Is a girl who’s body was always criticized and later became ashamed. 

Behind every pose,
Is a girl who was bullied and now continues to grow.

Behind every injury,
Is a girl who ran and kicked away the misery.

Behind every rep completed,
Is a girl who kept a humble heart no matter how bad she was treated.

Behind every gym session,
Is a girl that didn’t know how to release her depression.
