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.
