I Am Strong

Can't be weak to them 
For those who thinks
I am strong 
For them 
I have done it.
To be honest,
I am strong 
I know my moves.
I can feel
I can heal.
Them who needs me.
Breaking me,
Not so easy.
Yes. I am
I am strong. 
Little do you know,
Being strong. 
Hmmm.
Often summons loneliness.
Pinch by pinch we see
as we grow up.
And this quote says,
All great precious things are lonely.*
Is that?
So, yea. I am strong.
Can't be weak for them.
For them,
 I have become strong. 
Maybe I don’t need courage. 
But It's good to have support
Just to hold hands.
Having someone 
Just to say 
You can do it.
Call it human nature,
Call it whatever.
I just need to know
I need to stay strong.
Hey you, Just watch
How strong I am!
