Strength
is good
It
keeps you sane
It
makes life easier
But
it also makes it harder
Because
when you are strong
You
are able to take on
More
hardships
Harrowing
experiences
The
weaker ones
Struggle
with the same
Lessons
and life
Over
and over again
They
learn much slower
Keep
a steady pace
Hide
and seek their problems
Not
face them head on
But
not me
I
can't do that
I
feel like I miss out when I do
I
make myself do what is right
I
boldly stand in the storm
I
grasp the issues
I
face them
Challenge
them
Bring
it on
I
call it forth
The
next lesson
The
next point
I
can't always see it
The
reason why
But
I know it's good for me
I
know I can handle it
I
get bored
So
often bored
Especially
when I stay still
Or
when I avoid what's coming
It
pushes me out
Of
my comfortable space
Into
a new zone
Of
challenge and purpose
It
breathes new life
Into
meaning
Keeps
me moving forward
Around
the bend
Sometimes
it's scary
Often
I have to find courage
Cause
it doesn't come easy
But
it does come
Overcoming
things are not immediate
Life
gets constantly in the way
So
pushing forward at times
Is
very difficult
But
it doesn't stop me
It
never stops me
Is
this good or bad?
Cause
more always comes
It
never ends
It
keeps coming
I
can't look away
I
want it too bad
The
faster I learn
The
faster I am approached new
I
size it up
And
follow through
Sometimes
I look away
Sometimes
I sit still for a bit
Then
I am reminded
Of
what I really want
That
changes everything
It
makes me see
All
that I forget to remember
It
makes me want what I had
If
not for the pot of gold
At
the end of the rainbow
I
would have stopped walking
A
very long time ago
But
alas
I
cannot sit still for long
I
must carry on
Must
keep going
Through
the darkness
Seeing
or not
Through
the mist
Or
weathered spaces
I
keep it up
Second
guessing myself
Not
much more
Knowing
I am able
Is
it a curse?
Or
a gift?
I
am often ambivalent
About
my fate
Wondering
how often
It
will nip at my heels
Keep
me going
Pushing
forward
I
am not there yet
Wondering
still
Looking
for clues
If
it will actually happen
If
I will actually arrive
To
a place foreseen
From
deep in the night
A
place where I might be happy
Down
a dark tunnel
Deep
inside a blackened pit
I
saw a glimpse of light
It
gave me a glimmer of hope
I
pulled myself out
Learned
how to walk on my own
Not
looking back
I
have traveled far
Many
miles I have put
Between
me and what was
And
still I see more road to go
And
I haven't stopped yet
Towing
myself
And
what used to be
I
realize things are changing
Becoming
what I want
Has
strength gotten me here?
With
an intense bit of determination?
Rawness
and truth
Overcoming
life
Carry
on
Traveling
far
I
guess I'll keep going
Alone
or not
Others
get so stuck
And
I feel them drag me down
I
no longer let them
I
just keep going
If
no one is ever good enough
To
travel with me
Intelligence,
rawness, openess
Vulnerability,
offering who they are
Most
people can't manage
One
nonetheless two
As
they are consumed
By
their own scars
I
know I don't need them
If
they can't treat me the way I deserve
So
I'll travel by foot
By
myself
I'll
keep on
And
maybe one day
I'll
encounter
One
person who is right
One
who makes me understand
Strength
is not a downfall
They
can carry it too
And
life can be what you want
Until
then
I
choose to not compromise
On
who I am
Not
anymore
I
will not be treated like shit
Just
because people are fucked up
I
choose myself
I
know I deserve it
I
am strong enough
To
walk alone
To
handle it myself
To
be satisfied with just me
It's
not something
I
am sure anyone else can do
But
I have hope for the future
And
keep my heart pure
As
maybe they are right
Maybe
just maybe
Fairytales
do exist
And
I will get everything
Time
will tell
The
truth always shines through
Life
speaks volumes
Of
what's to come
When
I finally arrive
Where
I am
I
will have figured it all out
And
then I will see
That
it was always here
To
begin with
It
never left
It
just looked like it
When
I meet it face to face
I
will know it
It
will know me
And
I will truly see myself
And
it will see me
We
will not look for another
We
will be peaceful inside it
Everything
will be as it is
