S.T.R.O.N.G.
~Strength was never a word they
used to describe me
~Too many terrifying nights
borne of a terrifying life
~Ready to run, but having
nowhere to go
~One with all that was pain and
misery and loneliness
~Never straying far enough from
rage, despair, fear
~Given so many chances to fail yet
finding hidden resilience
and a different way
to shine...a candle
in the wind
