Where is my strengthA Poem by Shimae Parks
Where is my strength
My strength left me a long time ago My strength said you don't have it in you so go out the door My strength says someone sucked it out of you My strength said who punched the wind I said they punched the wind Where did my strength go My strength said You let me go I said but they did this to me Strength said you let them though I said but they stole this from me Strength said you handed it to them I said but I'm weak Strength said I'm here though I said but I'm poor Strength said start knocking on doors I said but what if none of them open Strength said just open it yourself I said but what if it's locked Strength said keep going I said but what if I get to the 100th door Strength said try 101 I said it opened Strength said you keep going even if 100 hundred doors close 1 will open if you just keep trying to open it yourself. You dont need anyone to help you open what already belongs to you If it doesn't belong to you then the door won't open But if it belongs to you then the door will open I said but why did it take so long Strength said if life was easy then you would not appreciate it once it's open Strength said if you give up you won't see it open If you move to fast you won't open the door hard enough If you stand still and take your time Open each door if it's locked then keep going Don't give up just keep going Make it as an experience Strength said what did I learn I said with out you strength I could have never turn the nob Strength said then let's do it together I said I use to not have the strength to do anything but my strength was always there I just had to hold on to it, together one step at a time Pulling myself up Grabbing each door tried of the beat down But if I let go of what drove me to the doors I would never had gotten here Strength said God never puts more on us then we can bare I said with strength to carry on I shell do what needs to be done Let me rise upon the ashes Fierce like a roaring lion Push myself to reach my potential I am strength that keeps me going I am Power that lights my way I am driven that follows my lead Where's my strength My strength is within me. © 2021 Shimae Parks |
