We can't always be strong
even the toughest
and largest things
on this earth
get worn down a little
here and there
I have strength
and courage inside me
it yearns to come out
while the tears fall down my cheeks
and erode the skin
on my face
I'm not gone, yet
only small pieces
have been chipped away
I'll be okay
here I am,
I'm still standing
I may not be what I used to be
but maybe there is a new beauty
to be found
from what I have become
