Sea II

In all my years,
I've heard only a handful of people say,
"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger."
It might be because it's only half true.
It might be better to say, “What doesn't kill you makes you harder."
What doesn't kill you makes you harder:
-to tear down
-to betray
-to lie to
-to leave
-to forget.
But it's a two-sided coin.
What doesn't kill you makes you harder:
-to get to know,
-to trust
-to understand
-to get close to
-to remember.

Don't be a wall, be a sea, for walls can be torn down, by raindrops alone,  and water is the strongest force on earth,
yet gentle to the touch.
