I Am Still a Strong Woman

I Am Still a Strong Woman
I am a capable woman
I fear what life will bring for me
I hear people trying to make me deteriorate
I see pain and turmoil
I am emotionally distraught
I pretend that everything is fine
I feel pain and grief
I touch my scars everyday
I worry that I am not good enough
I cry because I don’t want to be like my mom
I dream that, someday, I will be content
I try not to let people bring me down
I hope that I can survive my past
Yes, I am STILL a strong woman.
