Strength

Topic:
selfstruggles

I wish I could have a breakdown
Let someone else take the flack for a while
Don't know where I get my strength from
Don't know sometimes how I manage to smile
With all that is going on around me
I'm fighting it on my own
All the crap and abuse and frustrations
I've never felt so alone
Emotions are high and my patience is low
I don't want to stay here
I just want to go
There's something that gives me the will to fight
An inner strength, an inner light
It's not God or Jesus
It's not some kind of belief
It's me, my personality that shrugs off the grief
That tells me to stop
Prevents me from going under
This strength I've aquired
It strikes me like thunder
So I keep bouncing back
Brush it off, start again
When it starts to flare up
I'll just count to ten
Why can't I be weak for just a short time?
Not caring or worrying or towing the line
I'll just lay in my bed
Looking dazed and confused
Feeling sorry for myself
Feeling hurt, feeling used
But it's not in my nature
I won't dwell on the past
I get my strength from somewhere
I just hope that it lasts

AAwwhhh Ali this poem is really sad. It takes a strong person to keep going indefinately under constant pressure. I am always here for you if you need to be weak for a while.
Love Dawny x
