What I'm made of

Tears may be rolling down my face,
But i don't need you to wipe them away,
i don't need you to tell me it's gonna be okay,
And i don't need you to stay.


Rage may be building in my heart,
there's no need to hold it back,
there's no need to erase the mark,
No need to grieve for what i lack.


Scars may be arched on my heart,
No need to complain,
No need to hide them again,
No need to erase the pain,


Because in the end, it didn't kill me,
it didn't make me stronger either.
But it made me realize what i am made of.

This truly sheds light on what people tend to think about "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger." - but as this poem states very clearly, this is not always the case. It can break you down, it can make you stronger, or... It can simply show you that you are strong enough to move on. More often that not you go through hard times and discover that you CAN move on and that you are capable of moving on. It is very truthful. I love this poem because of the way that it flows. The words are beautiful and has a very nice set up. I love it.
