Weakness

Weakness

was a virtue

i'm not sure you possessed.

Although

maybe not showing your weakness,

was weakness in itself?

Strength

was something i longed for

but i could never grasp it like you could.

When i tried to prove to you

I could be strong

by carrying through with my actions

All i proved

was how weak i was.

Someone with strength

would be able to escape

without pills.

Weakness

was a virtue

i used to believe was the opposite of strength.

Strength

i realized

first requires weakness.

And anyone who is alive

possesses a combination.

Without weakness,

we know no hurt.

Therefore, how will we know

to become

Strong?
