Invisible Strength

I don’t know my own strength,

I can be strong when I need to,

Even when I’m feeling weak,

I know I am stronger,

Stronger than everyone,

That doesn’t know how to handle me,

Still I don’t know how strong I am,

I am not a weak little girl,

Like many people think I am,

I just have dealt with many things,

That people don’t know about,

And I’ve only told a few people,

And that’s only if I trust them,

But knowing I can be strong,

Makes me feel better than I have in a long time,

And I believe that I deserve happiness,

Since I haven’t been happy,

In months,

Weeks,

Years,

I count the days that go by,

Trying to maintain my sanity while I wait,

For my happiness to come back to me,

But right now my invisible strength,

That I didn’t know I had,

Is helping me pull through,

Be a better person than I was before,

Knowing that my strength can help others,

Even if they don’t want it,

They will never know what happens to me,

They will only know that they are being lifted up,

I’m no angel,

But at least I have a heart,

Bigger than some people,

And smaller than some,

It’s kind of in the middle,

At least now I’m getting to know the strength I have,

Even though I don’t show it,

I know that it’s there.

"But at least I have a heart, bigger than some people" I really like this line. it speaks volumes amongst the things people dont even think about. Great work!
