strength/I am.

by @kaliraye

people say to me so often, "you're so strong." "I don't know how you deal." "I couldn't handle that." but do you know why I'm "so strong"? it's because I've always had to fight. it's because every horrible thing that I have ever been through made me this way. it's because every time I've been screwed over, left for dead, dissed and forgotten.. I got up, brushed myself off and kept it moving. it's because I believed in brighter days and overcoming the obstacles that life threw at me to get there. but don't get the wrong idea. i've broken down so many times, you couldn't fathom. wanted to end my life so many times, you can't imagine. so please don't doubt.. that I've never been weak. never been brought to my knees. begging God to help me please. i've been through it. the whole 'why me, why here, why now'. but I've learned that you don't question the process because later is greater. you don't fight the process, just have faith in the Creator. you gotta trust the process so you can see the progress. And I've heard that whatever a man thinks he is, so shall he be. Therefore, I am.. Powerful. I am.. Courageous. I am.. Wise. I am.. Lionhearted. I am... Strength. [r.r.r.w]

Notes

A little explanation as to why I am who I am.. Very few know my story but those that do know that I do my best to encourage people in similar situations. I'm sure some can relate. Shout out to Nas for speaking my life in one line. If you don't learn to overcome your problems (the process) then you will never see your strength (the progress). I pray you see you brighter days. And I hope that this helps.
