Strong

I know I shouldn't let it get to me; but it does.
I know that I am stronger than his words, than his mouth, what he says, or what he does.
I know I am stronger.
Am I stronger?

How can I walk with my head up high, knowing that like a magnet; it will always be attracted to the ground.
I know sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.
But what if the hurtful words cause me to use sticks and stones, and break my bones?
How do I wipe every single tear of my face, knowing that there is a million of them coming?

I build walls and walls, that span miles and miles, just for someone to break them down.
How many more do I need to build?
How many more do others need to tear down?
And how can the walls stay strong after that?

I'm supposed to be strong
I want to be strong
But how can I be strong, when I don't have the strength to know what strong is?
