Strength

I am strong.

I am a woman who is independent.

I know my strength and my weakness.

I've been pushed to the edge of death and survived.

I have seen hell; I have lived it.

I've experienced a pinch heaven too.

I know what its like live a life of poverty, but also 

I know what its like to live a life of riches.  

Both sides I lived; In one side I almost died.

I have loved, and I have hated.

I am a woman. 

and I am strong.
