Strength From Within
strength does not come from others
not in the end,
ultimately it comes from within
and that is what makes it so hard
i mean who wants to look at buildings
as they fall apart
holding something within
grappling with trauma
and wrestling with self doubts
can you even trust yourself
especially when you are looking elsewhere
hoping it is others,
who will provide strength through care
