Strength

Strength is loving
Your Brother , sister
Your Mother , lover.
It's sitting on a shelf
instead of
letting the vase fall.

Strength is contemplation,
Strength is self-postulation,
It's thinking that the glass
is half full instead
of half empty.

Strength is God-Like
Strength is all-knowing,
It's sickness,
Cured by
A neighbors helping hand.

Strength is to be humble. To have humility.

  • As always Ali, wanting to read your next poem and mind....
    It doesnt hurt.... when I bleed
    but memories...they eat me
    I've seen it all before,...
    bring it on cause I'm no victim.

    about the glass half empty thing, i wrote something once to the effect of it doesn't matter if the glass is half empty or half full, it's enough to quench my thirst.

    That's really a good outlook. You have a very good point there.

  • yes yes, really liked it.
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes
    (And function)
    Function is the key
