Strength
I always hear the words "you're strong"
Sometimes it's because of physical strength
Mostly it's after something bad has happened
People see me with a smile on my face and making people laugh
Yet i don't see that as strength
I see it as hiding the pain
Hiding behind the mask
I guess strength is a word of opinion
It's also something you may not always see
I don't care about how much a person can lift
But inner strength, the strength to carry on life
When all you want to do is stop
The strength to get past the pain and the loss to fins happiness
Is real
I can wear a mask fine
But not without crying myself to sleep at night
I don't see that as strength
Yet i don't see it as weak
Grieving is normal
And if i have learned anything in 16 years it's this:
First you're shocked
And then you grieve
But in the end...
You find the strength to live again.
