Take one look around you
Look deep inside it all
Try and imagine one
Who felt no hurt or fall


Everyone has felt it
The little stab of pain
Emotionally and physically
Different types of stains


Frankly, how you deal with it
Sculpts you into you
Remembering and learning
The best you to be is you


Everyone has cried
Tried wishing it away
Others have been brave
But they felt hurt anyway


Just do not shrivel away
Do remember though
You are not made weak
Of the pain you undergo

I got home from school and I was in a greta mood and I just wanted to write about what makes me feel strong.
