Be Strong

Sometimes i pat my shoulder
trying to be like outsider
saying ‘be strong’
its good to hear
but its very hard to be strong
when problems hit you like waves
when breathing became difficult
when surrounding became suffocating
when people became senseless
when path seems so scary
when there is only thin line,
between hope and disappointment
I hear that distance voice
saying me to “be strong”
i close my eyes and repeat it to me
and try to go ahead and to be strong.
