My weakness is a valley
to the great hills of my strength.
My sadness and despair is the darkness
where the light of my happiness shines.
My naivety and optimism
contrasts my intelligence and planning.
I hope and worry.
I am confident after I am shy.
I am one coin with multiple sides.
I am human.
So I will push you forward
while I pull myself back
then I’ll push on forward
perhaps wanting to curl up in a cave
but never giving up,
because in my weakness I find strength
and I am intelligent enough to be optimistic in my planning.
The world is filled with both negatives and positives.
I focus on the positives
although I see the negatives.
broken strength
I whisper stay steady
because I was told to stay strong.
With all the world pushing me down
I stay steady.
When I’m weak, I’m told to stay strong.
When I’m broken, I’m told to hold on,
because the world does not see
because I am free.
I can be strong in my weakness
I can hold on when everything is broken.
And I will walk when my path is dark.
