Analysis of Stay Strong
I do my best to stay strong no matter how hard life gets sometimes..
But there are just times when I get overwhelmed.
It can be something small that pushes me over the edge or just the weight of it all crushing my spirit.
No matter the reasons, who, why or how..sometimes, the tears just come bursting out.
And often, that’s just what needs to happen.
Maybe I need a quick cry to just let it all out.
Perhaps I need a few minutes to clear my mind and let the tears wash my perspective clean again.
Whatever the reason is, I don’t know…but I do know that those little moments of emotional release keep me moving forward sometimes.
I’m not weak and I’m able to overcome anything, so I’m never going to cry because I can’t handle it…
I can deal with anything life wants to throw at me.
But at the end of a long day full of frustration and angst, a quick outburst just seems to do the trick..
It doesn’t make me weak…
It makes me human.
And I’ll take real, emotional passion over lackluster and dull any day.
I use the tears, the failures and the struggle to fuel the fire that keeps me burning brightly every day.
I won’t say every day is a win or that I always have it all together,
But I’ll never stop rising up out of the ashes of a bad day, broken heart or emotional wreckage.
I’m a strong woman, and this is my story.
I’ll always make sure it’s a story worth telling.
I got this.
