“You are strong.”
…even when others put you down, climb onto your shoulders to get ontop, call you names that make you crumble on the inside.
“You are strong.”
…even when the world laughs in your face, tears your dreams apart and scatters the pieces in the wind.
“You are strong.”
…even when it seems that nothing’s going right, that you’re suffocating in your own doubt, believing it when others say that you can’t.
“You are strong.”
…even when it seems as if there is no one who cares, not one warm shoulder on which to rest your chin, not one soft hand to envelope your own.
“You are strong.”
…even then, maybe you’ll realize that you still have yourself.
…even then, maybe you’ll believe it when you say, “You are strong.”
