#strongenough poems on Hello Poetry

Keah Jones Oct 2023

it is said that in the seconds leading to death life flashes before your eyes
but mine didn't

it is said that this disease is a silent killer
but I have never heard a din so loud as the chemicals consume my brain

it is said that 24% of people relapse within the first year

I was a statistic

I wasn't strong enough

but this time
I will not be a statistic
because I am not who I was

Strong Enough

I am strong enough to be felt like pain?

I am in forever endless pain,
My crumpled heart is still aching none stop...
Senselessly I am still following my heart,
The heart doesn't make no sense
If the mind is already made up,
I,m talkative, but I won't argue -
I was lose within my unconsciousness,
I wish to follow but I will abide,
Sorry for being a burden,
But if you let go I will abide...

strong enough

I’m strong enough not to let you see me fall apart
So I hide my cries between my sighs.

I’m strong enough to stand alone against the cold landscape
So I hide my sadness between fake faces.

I crave, I starve, I wonder
And get lost in the process.
Then end up getting back to where I started.

How far will I stay strong?
How far will I carry along this dying song?
When will I ever belong?
......
…
..
.

I always talk on how poetry is an embark journey of mine. But more often I came back with recurring questions. I can say “I’m strong enough” but for how long, how far long will I go, or how much more I can take… big sighs…
