Your Strength

You're really this strong.

YOUR STRENGTH

You're pretty much in control of yourself and that's what makes you strong.
You know what you want for yourself;
You strive hard in spite of all the obstacles.
You did it all with little to no support from others.

You are both selfless and selfish in a positive way;
You do give everything when you need to,
Yet you also know when to stop.

You are not afraid to speak your mind,
You're not afraid to share the truth.
You're a good listener;
Yet you don't allow other people's problems to bring you down.

You're strong because you can create your own happiness,
You don't let others, even your own personal problems run your life.
You rise above it all and make the best out of life.
You make others look up to you because of that.

Others might misconstrue showing emotions as weakness;
You are strong because you're not afraid to show it.
You can express any emotion that you want.

You're clear with your priorities;
You know how to give value to yourself.
You know when to stop and walk away.
You know how to protect yourself and not be bitter.

You are not afraid to be alone.
You even thrive in it.
you value your freedom more, and it makes you even stronger.

You are what you are today because of what you've been through.
Your strength speaks for yourself.
You don't need Social Media to validate your successes,
To air your rants or show others your achievements.

You live a high moral standard and people respect you.
It sets you apart from all the rest.
Nobody can say anything bad about you and
No one ever will.

I'm curious if you were thinking of yourself as you unfolded this poem, or if you were thinking of someone else you care about. Either way, your words got me thinking that these qualities are ones I would like to always keep!
