Delicate Strength

Definitions

I used to think maybe I was not made strong enough for this earth

I used to feel delicate like I could break I used to wonder if I had what it takes

I used to be afraid to show myself to the world and I felt lost in motion in a lonely ocean trapped by waves of commotion

I used to believe strength was loud strength was bold and on display for the world to gaze upon

Now I see that my strength comes in a different form and not always the standard norm

A delicate strength I have found inside of me quiet and free carefully woven from all I see
