Stronger than I Know

Stronger than I Know

                    
I must be stronger than I know I guess I’d have to be,
Somehow I have got through a hard life without losing sight of me.
While growing up I had nothing, I could have turned bitter but instead,
I chose to put on a smile and work hard until I could slowly pull ahead.
As a child I felt resentment, but I grew older and eventually learned,
To feel pride in how far I have came and forget the bridges that were burned.
I have learned that a flower can grow in bad conditions if someone plants the seed,
And if it’s true you get what you put in I will take generosity over greed.
Because beauty will fade and the rich can go poor but if you look deep inside of you,
And find a strength of character that can't be taken you can succeed in all you do.
I am still hard on myself and feel less than others no matter where I go,
But to make it this far without breaking down I must be stronger than I know.

A flower can break through the asphalt of a street in the heart of the largest, most populated urban jungles, Crystal.
Look, we ALL make mistakes. But the key when making mistakes is to learn from them in order not to make them again.
That way the experience isn't useless and becomes meaningful, albeit painful at times.
Perseverance and intestinal fortitude go a long way in overcoming life's obstacles.
Once again, well done.
And please, feel free to drop by my portfolio and read my work anytime.
I'd love to hear your opinions on it.
My door is always open.
