Strong But Fragile

In the blood and bones of me I am so strong,
But inside my head i feel so fragile,

My soul survives rejection,
But my heart is shattered like glass,

So much hurt but i still smile,
But so much hurt still makes me cry,

I am a brave fighter,
But i am a damaged child,

I know i can survive anything,
But sometimes i'd rather die,

Nothing can or will ever break me,
Because I am already broken,

Once something is broken, it can be used for most any purpose. The healing process makes us stronger than before we were broken--like a bone that has healed. Don't let fear keep you down or surround yourself with walls of self-protection. We redeem our pain by sharing ourselves with others and helping them find hope and healing. That makes the pain worth bearing. Hugs, Janet

I think this represents the ying and yang in us all. Yes we take knocks, yes it may hurt us (sometimes deeply), but we (well some of us) always stand up and stride forward with strength. I liked the style of this poem, having read one of your others it's good you can churn out different styles. Keep it up.

I saw that I commented on this before Kristie,but I read it a second time.I love the whole ying and yang effect that you have going throughout the poem.P.S. I don't see any misspelled words..(smiles) and you said you couldnt spell. Thanks for the comment on my work as well. "we are never truly broken if we still manage to pick ourselves up" sash

as sad as it is it up lifts me. it is here that i get lift'd....

"So much hurt but i still smile,
But so much hurt still makes me cry,"

instead of that i would have choose 'laugh' instead of 'cry' to create cynical approach and it has a different look to it compare to the last timei'm not sure if it's change but it feels different, that's in a good way. i don't know but i just see so many ideas flashin' at me at once when i go and read other people's work so i don't know if this actually good for me....... but once again
-think you
