True Strength

I'm strong, but not for the right reasons.
I'm brave, but not for the right reasons.
I'm humble, but not for the right reasons.

My strength comes from harsh burdens.
My bravery comes from fearless burdens.
My humility comes from heavy burdens.

I am trapped and yet I'm free to fly.
I am weak yet have strength to give.
I am rooted to earth while in the sky.

I am gentle due to the pain I have endured.
I am kind to hide to the anger and fear I hold.
I am a survivor because that is the real me.

You may see a broken and scarred scrap heap,
However I see beauty and growth deep inside.
Just you wait and you will see the true strength.
