Let Me Be Strong Enough

By Shewolf

Am I strong enough?
I am so unsure that my heart can take the torment
Of loving you.
I have never been
Pretty enough
Thin enough
Feminine enough
Soft enough
For those who have passed through my life
Yet I have always been
Strong enough
Until now…..
I laid my Heart in your hands
As gently
As a Mother cradles a Newborn
And you took it
Just as......gently
I dread the day
When you find me Imperfect
And slip away from me
As easily as a deer
traverses the forest
Leaving my heart
Cold and lifeless once more.
Please!
Great Spirit which moves through all things
I beg of You
Let me be strong enough……

What a thing fate is that I should be going through such a similar situation as this when I stumble upon it. I certainly am praying for strength. Excellent piece, this definitely demonstrated that truth is beauty.
