strength. i think that
in some ways
i am stronger than i have ever been before.
i think to not be is something i cannot afford.
i think that i have been through a lot
maybe to some a little
but i take all the negativity
solve it inside out like a riddle.
i think my strength makes me who i am
i think it makes me real and raw
to know
i'm not a scam.
i think its refreshing
to know i'm not alone
but to be with myself solely
i can tell how much I've grown
i yearn to be fearless
i yearn to have no fear
i want to be a role model
be better than i was last year
i want to be loved
but i know that starts with me
my heart and my brain
must find a way to agree
to be loved universally
to be loved by my own self
the second is harder than the first
i cant hide my feelings on a shelf
my emotions, bare to see
maybe that's an accomplishment
i'm finally comfortable
let me rejoice in my own acknowledgement
i pray you find strength too
for that is where strength lays
knowing you are content
but wanting to brighten other's days
a light that kindles to light the fire of others. your own bucket is full- you continue on filling the buckets of others with the extra that you have, this is where strength lies- even when your bucket is less than full.
you fill others.
strength.
