See my strength.
I'm not as weak as you think I am.
I'm not going to break with the slightest weight.
I'm not a camel and you are not the last straw.
Hear me when I tell you I am not fragile.
That I can support more than you think.
That I've done it before.
That was more burden than you could ever dream of being.
You will not crawl into my nightmares as burden.
You will crawl into my nightmares as being lost into the blackness.
Please. Don't let this recur.
