Chapter 1 Pride Within

The opening study within The Composed Woman.

Composure, earned under pressure.

She Endures

What she carries, she does not show.

It remains within her.

Beneath the calm, there is weight.

She does not move.

Unshaken

Even the fiercest storm can't touch her.

She remains in quiet control.

The lightning does not strike her,

it becomes part of her.

Hero

Look at her.

Calm where others would fracture.

What remains of the storm,

she wears in gold.

Within, I Stand

Anchored, while the world presses at the edges.

Quiet Radiance

Luminous in what is shown.

Formidable in what is carried.
