She is a barrier that blocks, a woman with a fist.
Harder than township rocks.
She is the diamond that shines.
The David that defeats Goliath.
She is the reason Mother Earth creates flowers that resemble her.
She is the ruler of a thousand men, and a soulmate to one.
She is what shines in the night time.
She is a one of kind, without a lookalike similar to a capricorn, but nevermind her star sign.
She is the lungs within my rib cage.
The eyes that make me see.
She is the reason to live.
She is, invictus.
