Where is my strength

Where is my strength

A Poem by Shimae Parks

Where is my strength
My strength left me a long time ago
My strength said you don't have it in you so go out the door
My strength says someone sucked it out of you
My strength said who punched the wind
I said they punched the wind
Where did my strength go
My strength said
You let me go
I said but they did this to me
Strength said you let them though
I said but they stole this from me
Strength said you handed it to them
I said but I'm weak
Strength said I'm here though
I said but I'm poor
Strength said start knocking on doors
I said but what if none of them open
Strength said just open it yourself
I said but what if it's locked
Strength said keep going
I said but what if I get to the 100th door
Strength said try 101
I said it opened
Strength said you keep going even if 100 hundred doors close 1 will open if you just keep trying to open it yourself.
You dont need anyone to help you open what already belongs to you
If it doesn't belong to you then the door won't open
But if it belongs to you then the door will open
I said but why did it take so long
Strength said if life was easy then you would not appreciate it once it's open
Strength said if you give up you won't see it open
If you move to fast you won't open the door hard enough
If you stand still and take your time
Open each door if it's locked then keep going
Don't give up just keep going
Make it as an experience
Strength said what did I learn
I said with out you strength I could have never turn the nob
Strength said then let's do it together
I said I use to not have the strength to do anything but my strength was always there I just had to hold on to it, together one step at a time
Pulling myself up
Grabbing each door tried of the beat down
But if I let go of what drove me to the doors
I would never had gotten here
Strength said God never puts more on us then we can bare
I said with strength to carry on I shell do what needs to be done
Let me rise upon the ashes
Fierce like a roaring lion
Push myself to reach my potential
I am strength that keeps me going
I am Power that lights my way
I am driven that follows my lead
Where's my strength
My strength is within me.
