I Am...
I am strong.
When I look at myself in the mirror
I see the person I want to be.
I see all the failures and accomplishments I've
made on my way to now,
and it's so much more than I could ever expect.
Each new day brings trials and tribulations,
but if I can face them with the same
attitude I do everything,
then I can push through them.
I am soft.
I bend at the mere sight of love,
and friendship,
and something so cute and soft as a puppy.
Just because I am soft,
does not mean that I am not strong.
I am strong because I am soft.
Because I can look at myself in the mirror
and tell myself that being soft
and being strong are not opposites.
They must be hand in hand to make a human being,
and by being strong, I make as many mistakes
as being soft.
Soft does not make me a push over.
Strong does not make me a brick wall.
I am strong and soft and
me.
I will continue to be strong and soft,
because in a world that begs to tear you down,
being strong will keep my head high,
and being soft will keep my heart open.
I am strong.
I am soft.
I am me.
