Poem: I Am Stronger


The world around me slows down as I close my eyes and listen… 

I listen to every sound and vibration as I feel the wind softly singing, making my hair gently dance to its music.

I feel each nerve in my body respond as I relive every second of my life.

I remember every instance where I cried… cried whenever the world pushed me down. 

I listen to my heartbeat, in rhythm to the river’s music.

I smile as I remember every single time I was able to get up in return and achieve more than anyone could have ever imagined.

That I am more than I ever imagined.

Someone who can always achieve more.

…My will is stronger 

Strong as my pulse and as true as the blood coursing through my veins

So I stay, trusting what I believe, standing up for myself…
