Weakness Is Often Strength

I'm not like others who are confident and sure. I'm not like many who take the good with the bad and still smile as they greet you at their front door. I must admit I fall far below those expectations. But I am not useless... My thoughts are not completely hopeless. And my will is often unbreakable. So even with my weakness so easily displayed my strength buries itself within my character. I often believe this is what makes me special... Even a small flame is bright enough to light up the voild of darkness. And even a feather can carry the weight of 1,000 suns. There's a sliver lining to everything between despair and sorrow. Not everything is black and white.... There are complexities to this world which offer immaculate beauty. We all have a light in us. And sometimes it's the smallest flower that illuminates the springtime. Robert Burton-
