BECAUSE I CAN
by Ella M.
You said that you want me to be strong
I am strong
I have been strong
If being strong would mean
That you will be alone climbing up
Let me be weak
For by being weak,
I can be humble
For by being weak,
I accept my limitations
For by being weak,
I open myself to others
The time of my weakness is the time of my surrender
It is the time that when i am weak that I am strong
For it is no longer myself but Himself that is at work
For me to survive the present moments
For me to survive everything that turn their back on me
Allow me to be weak
For I want to be strong
To be surrounded with genuine love, care and compassion
This would make me strong
For I am a FIGHTER and a SURVIVOR
I am strong
Because I can…and I will!
