I'M Strong Enough

I’m strong enough to take your insults I’m strong enough to take your pain I’m strong enough to stem the tears That threaten to soak my soul like rain I’m strong enough to take your silence I’m strong enough to take the neglect I’m strong enough because I know That you’re afraid to reconnect I’m strong enough to take your madness I’m strong enough to take your fear I’m strong enough because I know You can’t survive without me near So go ahead! Unleash the fury! Go ahead! Try to make me break! I will withstand the awful onslaught Because I know how much to take I know inside you there is someone Who’s been hurt right to the core Someone who has been damaged When he wanted to love some more Someone whose soul is soft and tender Someone who needs to heal in time That’s why I can take your abuse Because I know your heart is mine!

It is good to see beyond the pain and see the true heart of the one we love. Some people can't see beyond the hurt.

Each of us has our own unique brand of strength. Some of the strongest people I know are also the most broken.
