Why Am I So Strong?

by Jessica Lynn   Jul 27, 2007


Why am I so strong?
Is it because of my past? Or is it because of them?
Them girls that are known as my best friends
Is it those girls who give me my strength?
The courage to stick up for myself
The bravery to speak my mind
The heart to let go of what I hold so close to me
I'm not sure what it is but I'm thankful to have it
Sometimes I feel as if I can control my life
As if there is no one in the world who can tell me what to do
I love the feeling and I never want it to be distant from me
Why can't my friends have this strength?
Why doesn't it rub off of me onto them?
Why was I the one given this beautiful dream?
All I can do is give advice and watch as my friends make their own decisions
That's really the beauty of this power
Because in the end I can see them become as strong as me
I can see them walk away from the thing they love the most
I can see them let go
And never turn around to look back at what they left behind
What ever it is that makes me so strong I never want to let go of it
Whether it be my friends or past
I just pray for it never to leave my side!
