If you're strong enough

If you're strong enough

If you’re strong enough to borrow the bikini even though you’re terrified of wearing it;

If you’re strong enough to laugh while you feel your heart shatter within you;

If you’re strong enough to put a blade to your skin when you feel unbearable pain already;

If you’re strong enough to swallow the pills that you know your body will not be able to handle;

If you’re strong enough to get out of bed the morning after the night you decided to give up;

Then you’re strong enough, not just to survive but to live,

because even though death would be an awfully big adventure...

Life holds more opportunity- it is a much greater perhaps.

So tell me what you are waiting for?

Only you can find the way out of this labyrinth...
