Her heart is filled with anguish and agony.

Her heart is filled with anguish and agony.

She is a sorrowful mother who smiles to cheer up her children, but on the inside, she is depressed, abused, and full of misery. 

Looking at her beauty from a distance, people notice a woman who is filled with happiness. Yet, within her heart, she is pleading for help. Her heart has broken into bits.

People see a beautiful woman. She is a woman of virtue, but her heart is filled with anguish and agony. Her heart is screaming into her lungs about the marriage catastrophe.

People see her powerful attitude and assume she has it all together, unaware that she is filled with fear and shame within her household.

Observing her walk on the street, you'll see a woman of dignity and fearlessness. Yet, inwardly, she is a weak woman who lives in terror for herself.
