He tells me that I am strong.
So why do I feel so weak?
Why do I want to beg him to change his mind?

He doesn't understand that HE gave me strength.
I was able to get through anything knowing
he was the prize at the bottom of the box.

If I were half as strong as he thinks I am
My heart wouldn't be breaking.
Instead I would be able to see it's for the best.

But I have no choice.
I have to be strong.
He needs me to be strong.
Perhaps that is what strength really is.
Doing what it takes no matter how much it hurts.

If so...
I am strong.

A better definition of strength I don't think ever I've heard before. So well done. Do not stop writing , there is so much in your soul. I need to hear it. - Moskowitz

I needed to write it.
