A Word

Something we all ask..

Where does your strength come from
The light in your eyes blinds me
as you smile in spite of my pain
I've been here before and keep coming back
But I don't want to
don't want the sting anymore
So tell me where your strength comes from
I want to eat it and get fat with it
Maybe it'll rub off on me
your peace
Maybe I'll smile knowing no one wants me
Who am I kidding
I won't
No one can tell me
I have to find it on my own
But there is one thing that frightens me
I never will

Author's Note

All of my poetry comes from the heart.

Strength comes through experience in my opinion.Your lines speak to me of someone who is fearful they will never have strength of feeling. The strength to be able to face up to what life throws at them.

I'm not sure whether that was your intention, but that is what I picked up. Good composition.

Thank you, Chris! My intention with any of my pieces is for the reader to get whatever they get from them; every writing means something different to everyone. I am glad you enjoyed this one!

we cannot borrow a smile that is real because it comes from the inside...we have to inherently find our own.
