you GOTTA be Strong

let it go, give it up,

girl, don't you cry,

you gotta be tough,

believe me this isn't the worst,

it'll get harder,

harder to breathe, harder to see,

you'll get all choked up,

you'll feel like your drowning,

but you gotta be strong,

just let it go,

give it up,

girl don't cry,

just hold it in,

everyone expects you to give in,

to cry, to kick, to scream, 

just let it go,

show no sign of weakness,

any chance for them to pounce,

any chance they get they'll use it against you...

Author's Note

we always would like to travel in time and talk to ourselves. If I could do thay, o god, there would be thousands of things I would tell to the little me, even the kid me, who suffered pretty bad.
This writing remembers me to my mother, a woman I admire so much. She has overcome so many things, so many bad people with bad intentions!!! Maybe I would like to travel to the past, say "he mom, this poem is from a friend of mine, and talks about not giving up, give it a try" (of course she would scare, lol!)
Anyway, I like the strong feeling on this poem. It is true that we are human, but there are sometimes that we have to demostrate how hard, as rocks, we can be in order to overcome bad things

I liked it a lot!

Specially this verses
"show no sign of weakness,
any chance for them to pounce,
any chance they get they'll use it against you..."

For some reason, it sounded me like "Show no mercy, ha, ha, HA!!" Nahh, just kidding.

Keep writing, i love your writing :)
