Strong

Strong Is a word used to describe the capacity in which we are able to carry amounts of weight Strong Is what we call body builders, muscley men and women who we look at and say "wow they're strong" just by looking at their shape Strong In the dictionary is described as "having the power to move heavy weights and perform other physically demanding tasks" Strong Means something different to me and when someone turns to me and asks What does strength mean to you? I respond with, Strong Is the woman that carries a child inside her for 9 months and perseveres Strong Is the person who has to force themselves to carry on after they lose someone dear Strong Is putting both of those things side by side and losing the woman that raised you Strong Is knowing she will never be there to face you Strong Is carrying on after having the most important person to you snatched right from your fingertips Strong Is trying to move forward knowing that your stomach will churn every time the word “Mum” comes to your lips Strong Is a word they tell me I am but why doesn't it feel that way? Strong Is a strength I hope to feel one day.
