Taste strength on your tongue

Inhale scent of your resolve

Hear courage of words

See tranquil sea of your soul

Touch timeless tears in moonlight.

Going your own way 

when no one else will follow.

Turning to face the truth 

when it's hard to swallow.

Keepin your mouth shut 

when you know you're smarter.

Wanting so bad to quit

but instead working harder.

You've let me

love you 

for your strength 

Are you

strong enough

to let me

love your weakness?

...to see

your heart 

and be that 

missing part?

Or will you

hide what's weak

so long, you'll

never know

that only

together 

weakness

becomes

Strong?

Strength's endless pain,

Smiling while drowning in rain.

Searing burn,

Falling at every turn.

Living on,

Standing when you're weak.

Walking alone;

Staying when you wanna run.

Struggle,

Surviving battles in your heart.

The scar of pain,

Climbing from the abyss;

Knowing you'll fall again...

Smiling past salt tears

   Roller coaster ridden life

      Grabbing moment's gifts

Love outside of time

   Giving more, or less, as called

      Heart that blossoms room

Far removed from boast

   Sturdy like an oak surround

      Gracing all you meet

Strength is

a soft heart

in a hard world

I fell and 

I scraped my heart

on the way down

but I got up

when you called

my name

I find strength in two ways,

When I am the weakest, 

Carrying myself forward,

I let go of what is making me weak,

leaving my thoughts behind like a tangle of clothes on the shore, 

When I am strong,

I hold onto my God.

is to painfully realise that

i can be confident

in my personal choices and

decisions

without relying on other people's

approval

who have ulterior motives but pretend 

that the choice they want you to make is

in your best interest...

When I fall to break.

I rise again, to shake.

When My soul loudly cried.

I choose proudly to ride.

Life was unfair and wild.

So I become, a strong tide.

Hope left me, alone in shadows.

So, i light my path to meadows.
