That’s Strength


That’s Strength

When you say, no.
No to the bullies who punch and kick you in the school corridor.
No to the inflammation that lines the walls of your small intestine.
No to the words which are trying to stay stuck behind your tongue.
No to the confused pathways and paralysed legs and arms.
No to the tumours slicing up your brain, corrupting your memories.
No to the fear of having a couple of drinks of coke with your friends.
No to the top of the cliff, to the bottom of the lake, the middle of the train tracks.
No to the shame of having to ask for help when you need it the most.
When you say, yes
To keep asking, keep believing, keep breathing
That’s strength
