There are layers of the human soul
That exist
That we are not even aware we have
But
Endure a deep trauma
Loose a loved one
Say goodbye to something highly valued and greatly treasured
And
You will discover those layers
You will discover a strength
So profound
You almost wish you didn’t have it.
A strength you come to despise
A resilience that becomes a nuisance
Because as much as you want to
Call it quits, throw in the towel
You can’t because you simply KNOW
You are too strong to give up now
