Strong

On the outside people say I am weak.

Like a newborn infant opening its eyes.

Or a calf trying to walk for the first time.

As a delicate flower starting to bloom.

No! I am strong!

As a dragon blazing with flames.

A tiger when it bellows its roar.

As an oak, towering the land below.

I am not weak as people assume me to be.

I'm a warrior at heart.

Not cowering when the going gets tough.

Not stoping when something gets in my way.

I go through them without a fault.

They may say I am weak.

But I am strong as I want to be.
