Strong Enough?

Sometimes when our feelings and emotions are involved we realize we're not as strong as we thought.

 

Sometimes I feel like I can't do it.

Like I'm not strong enough.

Being with you has brought me more heartache than I can bear.

I don't know if I'm strong enough to handle you.

 

Outside my window the winds whip the redwood trees like tiny bushes.

The trees are strong enough to handle the wind.
Am I strong enough to handle you?

Rain falls sideways as the winds howl across the dancing grasses.

The grasses are strong enough to handle the wind.
Am I strong enough to be with you?

 

I want to be that strong.

Emotionally.

I know I can be.
Sometimes I feel like a little girl, emotionally handicapped, naive, and unsure.

Why?...

Because I don't like dealing with emotions. They make me feel weak.

Why?...

Because I haven't learned to deal with them yet.

 

I know I can be stong enough

Emotionally

Learning to deal with my emotions and feelings

Will help me be strong with all dealings

 

I will be strong.

For me, not for you.
