the strength, to live by

this is another realization;

that her life is indeed,

not the hardest, nor the easiest.

that while it seems that God believes in her

so much, that she sometimes questions,

if He has trusted her too much,

He also gives her

the strength, to live by.

                                                    this is another realization;

                                                    that while many of her friends,

                                                    and family,

                                                    easily dismiss her problems as if they were easy,

                                                    and burden her with more,

                                                    she has stood up tall, these whole years,

                                                    for her strength, has always been

                                                    what keeps her from giving up

                                                    --and that this time, she should not

                                                    let down those struggle,

                                                    and surrender.

                                                    Not this time.

                                                                                                      this is another realization;

                                                                                                      that between each of her deep breaths,

                                                                                                      she can feel her burden

                                                                                                      fading, slowly but

                                                                                                      surely.
