Strength in independence

By. Julian Martin Charles Rodriguez

Theres strength in being alone

No dependence or second guessing

No switch of personality, or constant stressing

Some people view this as kind of depressing

But for my life your opinion is not a fact

Sure you have a lot of strength if your actions are backed

But in my life, i’ve always just lacked

The ability to keep in tact,

But why must this psychological understanding be interpreted as self wreckoning

Its forced me to be a soloist to get everything,

You can’t get a helping hand if friendship is in high demand,

And you can’t let off the gas, if theres no safety net to catch your fall

I know I could have friends, I know I could have them all

I know I have things to give, I know I make people tall

Due to the self revelations discovered through my falls

Every recovery was pain, but self healing is kept as a stain

Stains needed to reflect upon the constant growth

Yes I have battle scares but they’re more like my helpful notes

I see them not as pain,

But more as MLK or JFK type quotes

When a person has my time, I give them intellectual disection type notes

No person on this earth has the knowledge to give my type of strokes

Years of pain and self prevelation builds a mind with no bounds

I’ve always had the odds stacked against me, yet I still stay round

I have the knowledge to ace a test

I have the endurance to run the miles

Sure I have noone to talk to, but its been like that for awhile
